. Most baking should be done on the second shelf position from the bottom. When baking several items, use two shelves placed on the second and fourth rack positions fromthe bottomoftheoven. Staggerpanssothat nopan is directly above another. Bake angel food cakes on the first shelf position from the bottom of the oven.

Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking baked products. Allow 10 - 15 minutes preheat time.

Avoid opening the door too often to check the food during baking as heat will be lost. This may result in poor baking results.

Cakes, cookies, muffins, and quick breads should be baked in shiny pans - to reflect the heat - because they should have a light golden crust. Yeast breads and pie crusts should be baked in glass or dull (non-shiny)

pans -to absorb the heat-because they should have a brown, crisp crust.

Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees below recommended temperatures if you use dark pans or oven proof glass.

There may be some odor when the oven is first used. This is caused by the heating of new parts and insula- tion

Do not cover the oven bottom or an entire oven rack with foil. The foil can block normal heat flow, cause cooking failures, and damage the oven interior.
