Centering the baking pans in the oven as
much as possible will produce better results.
If baking with more than one pan, place the
pans so each has at least 1˝ to 1½˝ of air
space around it.
When baking on a single oven rack, place
the oven rack in position 3 or 4.
See the figure on the left.
Cakes place the oven racks in positions 3
and 5, Cookies place the racks in positions
2 and 5.

Before using the racks
The oven has two racks.
Each rack has stops that need to be placed correctly on the supports. These stops
will keep the rack from coming completely out.
REMOVING THE RACKS
1.
Pull the rack straight out until it stops.
Lift up the front of the rack, and then pull it out.
2.
REPLACING THE RACKS
1.
Place the end of the rack on the support.
2.
Tilt the front end up and push the rack in.
CAUTION
•
Do not cover a rack with aluminum
foil or place aluminum foil on the
oven bottom. This will hamper heat
circulation, resulting in poor baking,
and may damage the oven bottom.
•
Arrange the oven racks only when the
oven is cool.
