When baking on a single rack, use the rack position from the chart for your type of food. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary when convection baking and for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

Baking results will be better if foods are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

For best results when baking four cake layers at a time, use racks B and D. Place the lower pans at the back of the rack and the upper pans at the front of the rack as shown so that one pan is not directly above another leaving approximately 1-1/2″between pans, from the front, back and sides of the walls.

Care and Cleaning Installation Instructions

When baking four cake layers at a time, use racks B and D. Place the lower pans at the back of the rack and the upper pans to the front of the rack shown

so that one pan is not directly above another.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is not covered by the product warranty

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food .Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil . Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation
