Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: 

To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain 

finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door 

or bottom.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" 

(5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that 

no bakeware piece is directly over another.

Racks

 

Position racks before turning on the oven.

 

Do not position racks with bakeware on them.

 

Make sure racks are level.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front 

edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustration and chart 

as a guide for positioning racks.

Rack Positions

Food

Rack Position

Roasting large and small cuts of meat and 

poultry

1

Pies, casseroles, yeast bread, quick breads, 

frozen convenience foods, and 2-rack baking

2

Most baked goods on a cookie sheet, muffin 

pan, or jelly roll pan; layer cakes; broiling 

chicken pieces

3

Use for 2-rack baking and broiling.

4

Toasting bread or broiling thin, non-fatty 

foods

5

Multiple Rack Cooking

2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4.

Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks

For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use rack positions 

2 and 4. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.

Oven Vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and 

should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent 

will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning 

results. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt 

or burn near the oven vent.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating

When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating 

after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 

to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven 

racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher 

temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly 

increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature 

will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when 

your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when 

you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper 

temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. 

Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Oven Temperature

While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed 

to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly 

hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the 

oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven 

which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is 

recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.

NOTE: 

On models with convection, the convection fan may run in 

the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.

Temperature Management System

The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the 

oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise 

temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil 

elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection 

range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled 

on and off for short intervals during bake to provide the best 

results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven 

is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the 

“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is 

not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before 

putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
