Preheat the oven only when necessary. Most foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating.

If you find preheating is necessary, listen for the beep and put food in the oven promptly after the oven is

preheated.

● Always turn oven OFF before

removing food.

● During baking, avoid frequent

door openings. Keep door open as short a time as possible if it is opened.

● For self-cleaning oven, be sure to

wipe up excess spillage before self-cleaning operation.

● Cook complete oven meals

instead of just one food item. Potatoes, other vegetables and some desserts will cook together with a main-dish casserole, meat loaf, chicken or roast. Choose foods that cook at the same temperature in approximately the same amount of time,

● Use residual heat in oven

whenever possible to finish cooking casseroles, oven meals, etc. You may also add rolls or precooked desserts to warm oven, using residual heat to warm them.

● Make sure

your microwave oven is suitable
