Oven Shelves - Hotpoint RB525 Use And Care & Installation Instructions Manual

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately
using an oven control system. We recommend that
you operate the range for a number of weeks using the
time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar
with your new oven's performance. If you think an
adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven
Thermostat section. It gives easy Do It Yourself
instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.
How to Set Your Range for Baking
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the
correct position before you turn the oven on.
1. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the temperature
you desire.
2. Check food for doneness at minimum time on
recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
3. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF and then
remove foods.

Oven Shelves

Arrange the oven
shelf or shelves in
the desired locations
while the oven is
cool. The correct
shelf position
depends on the kind
of food and the
browning desired.
As a general rule,
place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either
shelf position B or C. See the chart for suggested
shelf positions. B will be used more than C.
Preheating
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means
bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before
putting food in the oven. To preheat, set the oven at the
correct temperature—selecting a higher temperature
does not shorten preheat time.
BAKING
NOTE: When the oven is hot, the top and outside
surfaces of the range get hot too.
Type of Food
Angel food cake
D
Biscuits or muffins
C
Cookies or cupcakes
B
Brownies
A
Layer cakes
Bundt or pound cakes
Pies or pie shells
Frozen pies
Casseroles
Roasting
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles
and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens
without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat
10 minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the food
in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat
from escaping.
