Hints for Cookies,
Shiny,fiat cookiesheets should
be used. Avoidcookie pans with
high sides- this will cause
uneven browningonthe top.
Cookiesheet should not touch
the sides of the oven or door.

Bake Pan Placement
•Keep pansand bakingsheets 2 inchesfrom oven
walls.
•Stagger pans placedon differentracks so one is
notdirectlyover the other.

Preheating

Inmost cases, you should preheat the oven before baking. After the range control is
set, the oven temperaturewill begin to rise until the desired cooking temperatureis
reached(approximately 8 to 10minutes). When cooking temperatureis reached
oven signal beeps. For delicate baking (such as puffpastries or souffles),
preheat approximately 15-20 minutes before placing food inside oven orwait
10 minutes aRer oven signal beeps before placing food in oven. Theextra time
createsa more stable oven temperature.
