For Best AIR Circulation, Where to place pans | Whirlpool RF386PXE

USING YOUR RANGE

FOR BEST AIR CIRCULATION

Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.

This results in better

baking.

• Place the pans so

that one is not directly

over the other.

• For best results, allow 11⁄2-2 inches of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.

For best baking results, bake 1 sheet of cookies at a time using rack 3.

• If baking with

2 cookie sheets, use

racks 2 and 4. Switch

the cookie sheets to

the opposite rack

about 2⁄3 of the way

through the baking time, then finish baking.

Where to place pans:

WHEN YOU HAVE	PLACE

1 pan	In center of the oven rack.

2 pans	Side by side or slightly
	staggered.

3 or 4 pans	In opposite corners on
	each oven rack. Stagger
	pans so no pan is directly
	over another.

USING ALUMINUM FOIL FOR BAKING

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or casseroles:

•Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack with the food. Turn up the foil edges and make

sure the foil is about

1 inch larger all around than the dish holding the food.

• Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil. It will reduce air circula- tion and give you poor cooking results.

•Do not line the oven bottom or the entire oven rack with foil or other liners. It could affect the quality of your baking.
