Air Circulation
The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even
heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.
For best air circulation:
■
Place the pans so that one is not directly over the other.
■
For best results, allow 1
¹⁄₂
in. to 2 in. (3.8-5 cm) of space
around each pan and between pans and oven walls. There
must be a minimum space of 1 in. (2.5 cm).
■
When baking with one pan, place pan in the center of the
oven rack.
■
When baking with two pans, place pans in opposite corners
of the oven rack.
NOTE:
Opening the oven door may cause heat loss, longer
cooking times and unsatisfactory baking or roasting results. Rely
on your timer.
Oven Rack Positions
Your oven has five rack positions. Rack position 1 is the lowest
position, or closest to the bottom of the oven. Rack position 5 is
the highest position, or farthest from the bottom of the oven.
NOTES:
■
Always position oven rack(s) in desired location before
turning oven on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.
■
Do not let potholders or oven mitts come in contact with hot
heating elements.
Be sure to position the oven rack(s) before putting food into the
oven or turning the oven on.
To remove oven racks:
Lift rack at front and pull out.
To replace oven racks:
1.
Place rear of rack on rack guides.
2.
While lifting front of rack, push in all the way. Lower front.
For proper cooking, follow these guidelines:
■
When using one rack, place the rack so the top of the food
will be centered in the oven.
■
When using two racks, place racks in positions 3 and (1 is the
closest to the oven bottom).
■
Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time when using
the BAKE setting.
Rack placement for specific foods:
(For rack positions, see the "Oven Rack Positions" section).
Accessory Rack
(on some models)
The accessory rack is specially designed to fit around a large
object to allow you to roast foods in the oven on a lower rack
while heating or cooking other foods on the accessory rack.
