OVEN USE
Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at
least 1/2" (13 mm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at
the edges.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven
door or bottom.
Racks
■ Position racks before turning on the oven.
■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
■ Make sure racks are level.
■ Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at
least 1/2" (13 mm) between pans and the broil element.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front
edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustrations and charts
as a guide for positioning racks.

For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a
rare interior, use a flat rack in position 6. Side 1 should cook for
approximately 3 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately
3 to 4 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

baking times. Follow bakeware manufacturer’s recommendations.
