| Air Circulation in the Oven |
| For best air circulation and baking results allow |
| 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. |
Multiple Oven Racks | The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven |
for even heat to reach around the food. |
