Tips

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 betterif foods are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the wallsof 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.

Troubleshooting

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.

Support

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Never entirelycover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several inches below the food.

Consumer

	Oven Moisture

	change of the air in the oven may cause
	water droplets to form on the door glass.

	evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
