Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there
must be enough room for air circulation in
the oven. Baking results will be better if
baking pans are centered as much as possible
rather than being placed to the front or to
the back of the oven.
Baking Pan/Sheets
Use the proper baking pan. The type of
finish on the pan determines the amount
of browning that will occur.
• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect
heat, resulting in a lighter, more delicate
browning. Cakes and cookies require this
type of pan or sheet.
Preheating
Allow the oven to preheat before placing food
in the oven. Preheating is necessary for good
results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
Oven Airflow
An internal cooling fan operates during all
oven modes. The warm air from inside the
oven will be exhausted out through vents
located at the bottom of the oven door.
Intake air will be pulled into the oven
through vents located between the door
and the control panel.
result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil
may be used to catch a spillover by placing it
on a lower rack several inches below the food.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls

pans as well as between pans and oven walls.
NOTE: For convection baking of cookies, see
the Multi-Rack Convection Baking section.
• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat
resulting in a browner, crisper crust.
Use this type for pies.
• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat.
When baking in glass baking dishes, the
temperature may need to be reduced
by 25°F.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature.
The convection fan will turn on during preheating. The
control will signal when the oven is preheated—this
will take approximately 10 minutes. The screen will
show the set temperature.
When the control signals, foods should be placed in
the oven.
Do not allow this airflow to be obstructed
by blocking the vents at the bottom of the
door, or at the top of the door by draping
kitchen towels over the front of the oven
in undercounter applications.
