General Tips-Conventional Oven
Pan Placement
Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center
of the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow
at least 1'' to 1 1/2'' of air space around the pan.
One Rack Baking
For best results when baking layer cakes on one rack,
use Bake Mode. Place the cakes on rack 4 in the oven
as shown below.
Note: Pan placement only applies to the conventional
oven.
2 Cakes, Rack Level 4
Multiple Rack Baking for Cakes
When baking four layer cakes at the same time, stagger
pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above
the other. For best results use Bake mode. Place the
cakes on racks 3 and 5, staggering the cakes in the
oven as shown below.
4 Cakes, Rack Placement 3 and 5
For best results when baking cookies on multiple racks,
use True Convection mode. Place cookies on racks 3
and 6.

Aluminum Foil
WARNING
9
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line
any part of the appliance, especially the oven
bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of
electric shock or fire.
Preheating the Oven
Place oven racks in desired position before heating
▯
the oven.
Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection
▯
Bake, True Convection, Pizza, Broil, Convection Broil,
and Warm modes.
Preheat is not required for Speed Convection, Roast,
▯
Convection Roast, Proof, and Dehydrate modes.
Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe
▯
ingredients or food items.
Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat
▯
time.
Once oven is preheated, open the oven door and
▯
place food in the oven as quickly as possible to
minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven
temperature.
Use Fast Preheat to speed up preheating.
▯
Preheat Reminders
The lower element is hidden under the oven bottom. It is
normal that the preheat time is different than your
previous oven that had an exposed element on the
bottom.
Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry,
▯
casseroles and Speed Convection mode.
Preheat time will be longer when the electrical supply
▯
to your house is less than 240 volts.
Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer
▯
preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F
is longer than the preheat time for 350° F.
When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not
preheat for more than 5 minutes.
For Best Results
Use the cooking recommendation charts which can be
▯
found in the Cooking Charts Use and Care Guide.
Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid
▯
temperature reduction.
Use the interior oven light to view the food through the
▯
oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
Use the timer to keep track of cooking times.
