Oven recommendations
Oven rack positions
•
Rack level positions in the oven are numbered on the
front frame like an elevator. Number one level is the
lowest and number five level is at the top.
•
Rack positions are general recommendations for
baking; however, if a recipe calls for a different rack
position than those given, then the recipe or package
directions should be followed.
•
Allow at least 1'' (25.4 mm) of space between the pans
and the oven walls so heat can circulate around each
pan.
•
Stagger bakeware so that one is not directly above
another. Allow 1½'' (38 mm) above and below each
pan.
Bake
Main oven one rack baking
Main oven two rack baking
Secondary oven (48" models)
Main oven three rack baking
If three-rack baking is desired, the convection bake or true
convection modes are best.
Broil
Close the oven door while broiling and monitor the food
closely. Food placed close to the broil element may cause
smoking, splattering, and the possibility of fats igniting.
Use caution when broiling on upper rack positions.
Broiling above rack position 4 is not recommended in the
Pro series gas ranges.
