Rack Positions

One Rack Baking
• When baking on one rack, best results are obtained in
the bake mode (See "Bake" on page 22.)
• When roasting a turkey or a large piece of meat,
convection bake may be used. Rack #2 is the most
appropriate rack.
Two Rack Baking
• Racks #2 and #4 are most appropriate when using the
convection bake mode. Cake pans should be
staggered on racks #2 and #4. Cookie sheets should
be placed on rack #2 directly under the one on rack #4.
• This may be used for cakes, cookies, biscuits and other
foods for which two rack baking is desirable.
• When several casseroles, frozen pies or cakes are to
be baked, use racks #2 and #4.
• These two racks can also be used for a large oven
meal.
Three Rack Baking
• When several sheets of cookies are to be baked, bake
them on racks #1, #3, and #5. Place the baking sheets

directly above each other on the respective racks to
allow air to flow around the baking sheets.
Bakeware Type
• Aluminum bakeware gives the best browning results.
• Cookie sheets with only one or two sides give the best
results. Aluminum commercial half-sheets or
professional cooking utensils may be used but baking
times may be increased.
Placement
• For better browning, utensils such as cookie sheets,
jelly roll pans and rectangular baking pans should be
placed crosswise on the rack with the shorter sides on
the right and the left. This allows the air to circulate
freely.
• When baking on more than one rack, cookie sheets
should not be staggered; round cake pans should be
staggered.
CAUTION:
WHEN USING THE OVEN IN ANY MODE
Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven
racks or to line the oven. It can damage the
oven and cause a fire hazard if heat is trapped
under it. See page 4.
