S Oven Care and Use Manual
With either BAKE or CONVECTION, poor results can occur for many reasons other than a malfunction of
the oven. Check the chart below for causes of the most common problems. Since the size, shape and material
of baking utensils directly affect the baking results, the best solution may be to replace old baking utensils that
have darkened and warped with age and use. Check the Baking Charts on Pages 14 to16 for the correct rack
position.
