Lower Oven Tips:
• Thelowerovenrackmustalwaysbeinplacewhen
cookingorwarming.Besurethattherackisplaced
with the down turned sides into the drawer. This
will provide for some air space between the drawer
and the food.
• Whenplacingfoodinthelowerovenalwaysusea
baking sheet or pan with 4 raised sides to prevent
food from sliding off.
• DONOTLINETHEOVENDRAWERWITHFOIL
ORCOVERTHEOVENRACKWITHFOIL.This
may result in damage to your oven.
• Themaximum heightoffoods andutensilsthat
may be used in the lower oven is 4”. The maximum
width is 15”. Pay close attention to foods that
have potential to rise beyond the recommended
4” maximum height.
• Usepansinthelowerovenlargeenoughtocontain
food and any juices created from the cooking
process.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the drawer or surrounding areas
andbeverydifculttoclean.Use a lid or aluminum
foil instead. Use only utensils and cookware in the
oven drawer that are recommended for oven use
in the upper oven.
• Whenusing theloweroven, limit thenumberof
timesthedrawerisopened;thiswillminimizeheat
loss. Repeated opening of the drawer during the
cooking process may increase cooking times and
produce uneven cooking results. The cooking times
for the lower oven may vary slightly from the upper
oven.
Always use oven mitts when removing food from
the lower oven. The lower oven rack, compartment,
cookware/plates may be hot.
