•Check to be sure a pan is sitting on the grate above.

•Check the oven temperature selected. Make sure oven is preheated when recipe or directions recommend preheat.

•Use correct pan. Dark pans produce dark browning. Shiny pans produce light browning. See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet for more information on bakeware.

•Check the use of foil in the oven. Never use foil to cover an entire oven rack. Place a small piece of foil on the rack below the pan to catch spillovers.

•Check pan placement. Stagger pans when using two racks. Allow 1-2 inches between pans and oven walls.

•Make sure the oven vent has not been blocked. See page 13 for location.

•Check to make sure range is level.

•Check oven temperatures when convection baking (select models). Decrease conventional baking temperature by 25°F.

•Temperatures often vary between a new oven and an old one. As ovens age, the oven temperature often “drifts” and may become hotter or cooler. See page 8 for instructions on adjusting the oven temperature.

NOTE: It is not recommended to adjust the temperature if only one or two recipes are in question.

•Check if oven controls have been properly set. See page 15.

•Check oven rack positions. See page 15.
