Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven ifthe recipe culls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results when
baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. The control will beep when
the oven is preheated and the display will
show your set temperature. This may take
approximately 10-!5 minutes. For ovens
without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat 10 minutes.
Baking and roasting resultswill be better ifthe
rack is positioned so that food is centered in
the oven cavity as much as possible.Follow
package directions on prepackaged and frozen
foods for pan placement.
Pans should not touch each other or the
walls of the oven. Leave approximately
1-1/2" from the oven walls. If you need to
use two racks, stagger the pans so one is not
directly above the other.
For27" Ovens: If baking four cake layers at the
same time, placetwo layers on rack A and two
layers on rack C.
For30" Ovens:If baking four cake layers at the
same time, placetwo layers on rack B and two
layers on rack D.
Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly
above the other.
