Oven air flow
Aluminum
foil
An internal cooling fan operates during all oven
modes.Thewarm air from insidethe ovenwill be
exhausted out through vents located below the door
and bottom trim.
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom. Foil
may trap heat from the bottom heating element,
resulting in u risk of electrical shock,fire, or product
damage.
Neverentirely cover u rack with aluminum foil.This
will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor
baking.A smaller sheet of foil may be usedto catch u
spillover by placing it on u lower rack several inches
below the food.
NOTE:Forgeneral baking, only one or two rackswill
be used.Threeracks will be used onlywhen multi-
rack baking. Removethe third rack from the oven
when it is not isuse.

placement
Forevencooking and proper browning, there must
be enough room for air circulation inthe oven.
Bakingresultswill be better if baking puns are
centered us much us possible rather than being
placedto the front or to the buck of
the oven.
Punsshould not touch each other or the walls of
the oven. Allow 1- to 1½" space between pans us
well us from the buck of the oven,the door and the
sides.
Ifyou need to use two racks,userock positions
A and C,Band Dor Aand Dand stagger the puns
so that one isnot directly above the other.
Baking
pans/
sheets
Usethe proper baking pan.Thetype of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will
occur.
. Dark,rough or dull pansabsorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Usethis type for pies.
. Shiny,bright and smooth pans reflect heat,
resulting in a lighter, more delicate browning.
Cakesand cookiesrequire this type of pan
or sheet.
. Glassbaking dishesalso absorb heat. When
baking in glassbaking dishes,the temperature
may need to be reduced by 25°F.
Preheating
The type of
margarine
will affect
baking
performance!
Allow the oven to preheat before placing food inthe
oven. Preheatingisnecessary for good resultswhen
baking cakes,cookies,pastry and breads.

Most recipesfor baking have been developed using
high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80%
fat). Ifyou decrease the fat,the recipe may not give
the same results aswith a higher-fat product.
Recipefailure can result if cakes,pies,pastries,
cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads.
The lowerthe fat content of a spread product, the
more noticeable these differences become.
Federalstandards require products labeled
"margarine" to contain at least 80%fat byweight.
Low-fat spreads,on the other hand, contain lessfat
and more water. The high moisture content
of these spreads affect the texture and flavor of
bakedgoods. Forbest resultswith your old
favorite recipes,usemargarine, butter or stick
spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
