Oven Use; Aluminum Foil; Positioning Racks And Bakeware - Maytag MGT8720DH Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
Preheat is recommended for cooking most foods. Food should be
placed in the oven when the preheat beep occurs. Some modes
use elaborate cycling to achieve best performance. If the oven
temperature is increased after the oven is preheated, make sure the
oven is preheated to the new temperature before food is put into
the oven. If food is in the oven during preheat, it may become
overcooked.
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.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liner or
cookware.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up
at the edges.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish,
do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Racks
Position racks before turning on the oven.
Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
Make sure racks are level.
The upper oven is equipped with 1 flat rack.
The lower oven is equipped with 2 flat racks.
Place food so it will not rise into the broil burner. Allow at least
¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil burner.
To Remove Oven Racks:
Flat Racks: Pull rack out to the stop position, raise the front edge,
and then lift out.
