How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove adhesive left from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

NOTE:

The offset shelf provides more cooking space between itself and the shelf above it. This allows more flexibility when placing foods in the oven. See the Multi-

The offset shelf can be placed at any shelf position.

in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding

Adapting Recipes For Convection Baking

As a general rule, reduce the temperature by convection baking. For more specific instructions, follow the guidelines in the Convection Cookbook.

Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes.

Multi-Shelf Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results on two or three shelves at a time. Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but is
