Using the baking feature.
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. It is recommended that you operate the oven for a number of weeks using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven’s performance.
If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It lists easy Do It Yourself instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.

Troubleshooting Tips
Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the desired locations while the oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired.
As a general rule, place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either shelf position B or C. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.
| Type of Food | Shelf Position |
Angel food cake | A |
Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) | A |
Bundt or pound cakes | A or B |
Roasting | A or B |
Biscuits, muffins, brownies, | B or C |
cookies, cupcakes, |
|
layer cakes, pies, pie shells |
|
Casseroles | B or C |
Preheating
Support
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the oven at the correct
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.
Consumer
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf 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 shelf several inches below the food.
