Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish,
do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Racks
■ Position racks before turning on the oven.
■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
■ Make sure racks are level.
■ Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at least
¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil element.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge,
and then lift it out. Use the following illustrations and charts as a
guide for positioning racks.
Rack Positions
Broiling
Baking
Baking Layer Cakes on 1 Rack
Place the cakes on the rack as shown.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5 for regular baking.
2-rack (convection only): Use rack positions 2 and 5 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.
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.
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.
