When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the
oven.
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and
breads. Insert food immediately after the beep.
Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may
reduce baking performance.
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air cir-
culation.
Recommendation
If food is too dark or overcooked, use the
minimum cook time in the recipe or
packaging.
If food is too light or undercooked, use the
middle to maximum cook time in the recipe
or packaging.
Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or
recipes as needed.
Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes.
Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes
to reduce evaporation.
Increase bake time or oven temperature.
Reduce amount of baking soda or baking
