Rack positions and pan placement of layer cakes for
30" (76.2 cm) and 27" (68.6 cm) Non-Convection ovens
For best results when baking layer cakes on 2 racks in the lower
oven, use racks 3 and 5. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.
BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls.
Bakeware
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow
manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.
Meat Thermometer
On models without a temperature probe, use a meat
thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and fish are
cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal
temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine
doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this
appliance. Follow manufacturer's directions for using a meat
thermometer.
Oven Vent(s)
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.

Before baking, position racks according to the “Positioning
Racks and Bakeware” section.
