results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the cookwa refor proper aircirculation
and be sure pans and cookware do not
touch each other, the oven door, sides
or back of the oven cavity. The hot air
must be able to circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for
even heat to reach around the food.		Fig. 4	Fig. 5
