Baking layer cakes
Centering the baking pans in the oven as much as possible will produce better results. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1” to 1½” of air space around it.
If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and 5. Place the cookware as shown in the figures below.

Before using the racks
The oven has three racks.
Each rack has stops that need to be placed correctly on the supports. These stops will keep the rack from coming completely out.
