Radiant bake rack positions
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.

place racks in positions 2 and 4
Glide™ rack in position 4.
• When baking using 2 oven racks, position cookware as
shown in Figure 34
between cookware for proper air circulation.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny cookware,
resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recom-
mended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes,
cookies and muffins.
• For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes,
pastries, and breads, use the convection bake function for
best results.
