Using and Caring for Your Oven
Place the oven racks where you need them
before turning on the oven.
•To move a rack, pull it out to the stop
position, raise the front edge and lift it out.
•Be sure the rack(s) is level.
•Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect
your hands if rack(s) must be moved while
the oven is hot.
•For best performance, cook on one rack.
Place the rack
so the top of the
food will be
centered in the
oven.
•To use two racks during Convection
Bake, place the racks on the 2nd and 4th
rack guides.
•When baking on two or three racks, use
the CONVECT BAKE setting for more even
results. (You can also use only one rack
when convection baking.)
•To use three racks during convection
baking, place one rack in position 5 (the
highest position), another rack in position
1 (the closest to the oven bottom), and the
third rack in position 3. This allows all
three racks to be an equal distance apart
for better baking.
•For best results allow 2 inches (5 cm) of
space around each pan and between
pans and oven walls. Hot air must
circulate around the pans in the oven for
even heat to reach all parts of the oven.
This results in better baking.
