Important: When placing the gliding rack in the oven, make sure the front supports on the rack guides rest in the large slots at the front corners of the rack. This is necessary to keep the rack locked into position while fully inserted into the oven.

Rack Positions

One Rack Baking

•The Bake mode is best for baking on one rack with rack level #3 used for most baked items. If the item is tall, such as an angel food cake, rack level #2 may be used. Pies are best baked on rack level #2 to make certain the bottom of the crust is done without over browning the top. When large pieces of meat or poultry are roasted, such as a prime rib of beef or a turkey, rack level #2 is the preferred rack.

Two Rack Baking

•Rack levels #2 and #4 or #5 may be used when baking on two levels. Foods such as cookies and biscuits work well using these two racks. Casserole dishes may also be baked using these two levels.

Three Rack Baking

•If three-rack baking is desired, the Convection Bake mode should be used.

Bakeware Placement

•Allow at least 1" of space between the pans and the oven walls so heat can circulate around each pan.

•Stagger baking utensils so that one is not directly above another. Allow 1-1/2” above and below each pan.
