To obtain the best cooking results possible, you must operate your oven properly. This section gives
you important information for efficient and safe use of your oven.
Positioning racks and pans
For baking/roasting with one rack, the rack should
be placed so the top of the food will be centered
in the oven. Always leave at least 1’12to 2 inches
(4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan and the
oven walls and other pans.
.For pioper cooking, follow these guidelines
for specific foods:
l Angel and bundt cakes, yeast breads, frozen
pies, large roasts and turkeys-place rack on
lowest level.
l Casseroles, muffins, most quick breads and
meats-place rack on second or third level from
bottom.
l Cookies, biscuits, cakes and non-frozen pies-
place rack on second or third level from bottom.
When baking on two racks, arrange racks on
bottom and third level from bottom.
NOTE: For recommended rack placement when
broiling, see a “Broiling rack position chart” on
page 17.
Personal Injury Hazard
. Always position oven rack(s) in desired
location before turning oven on. Be sure
the rack(s) is level.
l If rack(s) must be moved while oven is
hot, use potholders or oven mitts to
protect hands.
Failure to follow the above precautions may
result in personal injury.

For best air circulation
The hot air must circulate around the pans in the
oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.
This results in better baking.
l Place the pans so that one is not directly over
the other.
l Allow 1 l/z to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around
each pan and between pans and oven walls.
l Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at one
time.
Use the following as a guide to determine where
to place the pans.
One pan
Place in the center of the oven rack.
Two pans
Place in opposite comers of the oven rack.
Three or four pans
Place in opposite comers on each oven rack.
Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another.
NOTE: “Oven peekfng” may cause heat loss,
longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking or
roasting results. Use a reliable k3chen timer to
keep track of the cooking time.
Do not allow pans to touch heat sensor on left
wall near the back (single/upper oven). Poor
baking may result.
Using aluminum foil for baking
Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or
casseroles.
l Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack
with the food. The foil should have the edges
turned up and be about 1 inch (3 cm) larger all
around than the dish holding the food.
l Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil.
It will reduce air circulation and cause poor
cooking results.
l Do not line oven bottom or entire oven rack with
foil or other liners. Poor baking will result.
Fire Hazard
Do not allow foil to touch the heating
elements because it will damage them and
could result in shock or fire hazard.
