controls are turned off.

2. Remove the bulb cover by pulling it out of the opening.

BAKING AND ROASTING PROBLEMS
With any oven setting poor results can occur for many reasons other than a
malfunction of the oven. Check the chart below for causes of the most
common problems. Since the size, shape and material of baking utensils
directly affect the baking results, the best solution may be to replace old
baking utensils that have darkened and warped with age and use.

Food is dry or has
shrunk excessively
Food is baking or roasting
too slowly
Piecrusts do not brown
on bottom or crust is
