Before Setting Oven Controls
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when
the oven is hot.
If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks,
stagger cookware as shown.
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm)
around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans
and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans
and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Some models are equipped with a blower which runs in baking and self-cleaning mode to keep
all internal components at a cool temperature. It is possible that the blower keeps running even if the range has
been turned off, until the components have cooled down.
