BAKING
NOTE:
When the oven is hot, the top and outside
surfaces of the range get hot too.
Your oven temperature is controlled using the latest
technology in oven control systems. It is recommended
that you operate your new oven for a number of
weeks to become familiar with its performance.
On double oven models, if you think an adjustment
is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat
section. It gives easy
Do It Yourself
instructions
on how to adjust the thermostat of the right oven.
Oven Racks
Arrange the oven
rack or racks in
the desired locations
while the oven is
cool. The correct
rack position
depends on the kind
of food and the
browning desired.
As a general rule,
place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either
rack position 2 or 3. See the chart for suggested rack
positions. Two will be used more than 3.
