Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary
when convection baking and for good
results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
Baking results will be better if foods are
centered in the oven as much as possible.
Pans should not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
For best resultswhen baking four cake layers
at a time, use racks B and D. Placethe lower
pans at the back of the rack and the upper
pans at the front of the rack as shown so that
one pan is not directly above another leaving
approximately 1-1/2" between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the walls.

Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foilon the bottom
of the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum
foil.This will disturb the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch
a spillover by placing it on a lower rack
several inches below the food.
Oven Moisture
Asyour oven heats up, the temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
