Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do not touch each other, the door, sides or back of oven. The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.

If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of oven.
