BAKEWARE

OVEN USE
Odors are normal when the range is new. This happens the first time the oven is used or when the oven is heavily soiled. IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well ventilated room.

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2 in. (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide. NUMBER OF PAN(S) 1 2 3 or 4 POSITION ON RACK
