Before you begin
Clean the oven thoroughly before using it for the first time. Then, remove the
accessories, set the oven to bake, and then run the oven at 400 °F for 1 hour. There
will be a distinctive odor. This is normal.
Ensure your kitchen is well ventilated during this conditioning period.
Energy saving tips
• During cooking, the oven door should remain closed except when you turn food
over.
• Do not open the door frequently during cooking to maintain the oven
temperature and to save energy.
• If cooking time is more than 30 minutes, you can switch the oven off
5 - 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time to save energy. The residual
heat will complete the cooking process.
• To save energy and reduce the time needed for reheating the oven, plan oven
use to avoid turning the oven off between cooking one item and the next.
• Whenever possible, cook more than one item at a time.
