Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow

2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.

Racks

■Position racks before turning on the oven.

■Do not move racks with bakeware on them.

■Make sure racks are level.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide.

IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max Capacity Oven Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as shown in the previous figure.

Multiple Rack Cooking

2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5 for regular baking.

2-rack (convection only): Use rack positions 2 and 5; or 3 and 6.

3-rack (convection only): Use rack positions 1, 4 and 7; or 2, 4 and 6.

Baking Cakes on 2 Racks

For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use racks 2 and 5. For best results when convection baking cakes on 2 racks, use racks 1 and 4. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.

Oven Vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
