Baking tips:
• Setthe oven controls and, if
necessary,preheat the oven until the
Oven Cycle Light goes out before
placing pans in the oven. Avoid
opening the oven during baking.
Heat is lost and could cause poor
baking results.
• Use the Minute Timer to time
cooking functions. (Seepage 13for
recommended baking times.)
• Wait until the shortest recommended
baking time is over before checking
food.
• When baking with multiple sheets of
cookies at the same time, each sheet
should be removed when the desired
degree of doneness is reached,
which may be at separate times.
Convection baking and cooking
tips:
• Reduce recommended recipe oven
temperature by 25°F.
• Reduce cooking time by 5 to 10
minutes from the time stated in
conventional recipes.
• When baking three sheets of cookies
at one time, each sheet should be
removed when the desired degree of
doneness is reached.
• Stagger cake pans in opposite
directions on each rack when three
racks are used.
Pan placement:
• If possible, use only one rack during
baking if the pan coversmost of
the rack,such as a large cookie sheet.
• Stagger pans in opposite directions
when two racks and several pans are
used.No pan should be directly
above another.
• Allow 1I/2to 2 inches of air space
around all sides of each pan for even
air circulation.
• When using a large roasting pan or
cookie sheet, turn the pan so that
the long side isparallel to the oven
door for the best heat distribution
and air flow.
Bakeware tips:
• Use the recommended pan size given
in recipesto insure good results. Old
or darkened pans are not desirable.
• Tin coated, stainless steel, warped or
dented pans do not heat evenly
and will causeuneven baking.
• Bake cakes, cookies,quick breads
and muffins in shiny pans for a
tender, golden crust.
• Reduce oven temperature by 25°F
when using glass pans, except when
baking pies oryeast breads.
• Cookies, biscuits and cream puffs

aluminum sheetswith no sides or
very low sides.
