OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled. 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. NOTE: This oven automatically adjusts for 208V operation without affecting cooking performance. Preheat times may be longer.

Meat Thermometer
On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. s Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
s

To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1" (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat ¹��" (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer. Check all meat in 2 or 3 places.
