Using Your Electric Oven

•When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at approximately three quarters of the total bake time. Increase baking time, if necessary.

•For best results allow 2 inches 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.
