for convection baking.
Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use rack
positions 2 and 5 with the Bake function. Place the cakes
on the racks as shown.
Baking Cookies on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use rack
positions 2 and 5 with the Convection Bake function.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate.
Allow 2" (5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven
walls. Use the following chart as a guide.
Number of Pan(s) Position on Rack

2 Side by side
3 or 4 Refer to the previous illustration
NOTE: Bakeware materials and color may affect results.
Dark, dull, non-stick or glass pans may require shorter
baking times, in contrast insulated or stainless steel
pans may require longer baking times. Follow bakeware
manufacturer's recommendations.

The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they
allow the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the bottom
vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the inlet of
fresh air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air from the
cooling system. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air
circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning and cooling results.
Preheating
When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating
after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to
15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks
provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher
temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly
increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature
will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when
your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when
you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper
temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds.
Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
Rapid Preheat
Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time.
Only one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during
Rapid Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting
Rapid Preheat. The preheating cycle should be completed
before placing food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat
cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only
for single-rack baking.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed
to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly
hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the
oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven,
which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is
recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run
in the non-convection bake mode to improve oven performance.
