Proper and Optimal Use Ovens
Before using the oven for the first time, follow the instructions to eliminate any odors and remove stickers, etc. For regular cleaning, use water and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaning products. If your oven has catalytic liners, replace them when necessary.
Do not hang tea towels on the oven handle while the oven is in use.
Preheating Properly 
Why Preheat?
Preheating ensures your food starts cooking at the right temperature.
This is essential for baked goods, which need a steady temperature to rise correctly, and for roasts, which benefit from a burst of initial heat.
Tip:
Always wait until the oven reaches the desired temperature before placing food inside. Most ovens signal with a beep or light when preheating is complete.
Using the Right Rack Position
Top Rack is ideal for broiling or quick browning.
Middle Rack works best for most baking and cooking as it provides even heat distribution.
Bottom Rack is useful for dishes requiring a crisp base, such as pizzas or flatbreads.
Tip:
Refer to recipes for rack placement recommendations, as they’re tailored for the best results.
Selecting the Correct Oven Setting
Bake for general cooking, including casseroles, cakes, and cookies.
Broil for quick, high-heat cooking, perfect for browning the tops of dishes or grilling foods.
Convection (if available) circulates air for even cooking, reducing baking times and creating crispier textures.
Tip:
Convection cooking can be 25°F cooler than standard baking, so adjust temperature or time accordingly.
Maintaining Door Seals
The door gasket (seal) keeps heat inside, so food cooks evenly.
A damaged seal can cause heat to escape, leading to longer cook times and uneven results.
Tip:
Check seals periodically for cracks or wear, and replace them as needed to ensure energy efficiency.
Keeping the Oven Clean
Regular Cleaning minimizes smoke, improves cooking results, and extends oven lifespan.
Self-Cleaning Mode: Many ovens that heats up to burn off residue, but this should be used sparingly to prevent wear.
Hand Cleaning: For spills and drips, use a damp cloth and mild detergent after the oven has cooled.
Tip:
Place a baking sheet under items prone to dripping, like casseroles, to prevent messy spills.
