For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on oven rack positions 1 & 4 (Refer to Figs. 2 & 3). When using a single oven rack, place cookware on oven rack position 2 or 3 (Refer to Figs. 2 & 4).

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and baking

 

results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around

 

the cookware for proper air circulation

 

and be sure pans and cookware do not

 

touch each other, the oven door, sides

 

or back of the oven cavity. The hot air

 

must be able to circulate around the

 

pans and cookware in the oven for

 

even heat to reach around the food.

Setting Surface Controls

Your range may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.

The SIMMER burner (some models) is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. The standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs. The POWER burner or burners (some models) are best used for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Fig. 4

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame.
