Preheating and Pan Placement
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the
desired position before you turn on the oven.
When baking on a single rack, use
the rack position from the chart for
your type of food. Baking results
will be better if baking pans ore
centered in the oven us much us
possible.
When baking four cake layers at a
time, use racks A and C.Place the
Iower pans at the back of the rack
and the upper pans to the front of
the rack shown so that one pan is
not directly above another.
Preheatthe oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheatingisnecessary when
convection baking and for good results when
baking cakes,cookies, pastry and breads. For
ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat 10 minutes.
Baking resultswill be better if baking pans are
centered in the oven as much as possible.Pans
should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven.
Ifyou need to use two shelves,stager the pans
soone isnot directly above another leaving
approximately 1-1/2" between pans, from the
front, back and sides of the walls.
NOTE:Donot bake or store anything in either
oven during a self clean cycle
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms.
The foil willtrap heat below and upset the
performance of the oven. Foilcan melt
and permanently damage the oven bottom.
Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is
not covered by the product warranty.
Foilmay be usedto catch spills by placing a
sheet on a lower rack,several inches below
the food .Do not use more foil than necessary
and never entirely cover an oven rack with
aluminum foil. Keepfoil at least !-!/2" from
oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature change
of the air in the oven may cause water droplets
to form on the door glass. These droplets
are harmlessand will evaporate asthe oven
