- Oven racks can remain inside the oven during this burn-in.
- Remove broiler pans from the oven before proceeding.
- For units with two ovens, the burn-in process can be performed in both ovens simultaneously.
- Animals sensitive to odors may be impacted by the burn-in process. Utilize ventilation and move pets to an area away from the kitchen as needed.
- The unit's cooling fans run after the burn-in is complete.
- There is no set time on how long it will take for an oven to completely cool after use.

Prior to First Time Use:
- Clean the oven interior, door, and glass with soap and water to remove some of the manufacturing grease; the remaining oil residue will burn off during the burn-in process.
- Operate the oven on "CONVECTION ROAST" at 500° F for 1 hour after it has preheated.
- Some odor or smoke may be produced during the burn-in process, this is considered normal.
- Running a ventilation hood or opening a window will help to circulate airflow in the room and reduce the amount of odor or smoke that may be produced.
- Oven cracking or popping noises the first few times of use is considered normal.
- It is not necessary to remove oven racks or guides for the burn-in process.
