The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.
For Best Air Circulation:
l Place the pans so that one is not directly over the other,
lAllow
l Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at one time.
Use the following as a guide to deter- mine where to place the pans.
One Pan
Place in the center of the oven rack.
Two Pans
Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.
NOTE: “Oven peeking” may cause heat loss, longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking or roasting results. Rely on your timer.
How to Use Aluminum Foil for Baking:
Use aluminum foil to catch
l Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack with the food. The foil should have the edges turned up and be about 1 inch (3 cm) larger all around than the dish holding the food.
l Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil. It will reduce air circulation and cause poor cook- ing results.
Electrical Shock, Fire and Product Damage Hazard
l Do not allow foil to touch the heating elements because it will damage them and could result in shock or fire hazard.
l Do not line oven bottom with foil or other liners. Poor baking will result.
