OVEN CONTROLS
Figure 16: Baking with a single rack
IMPORTANT
For this appliance, single rack radiant bake is the
recommended bake function for best results for
batter and dough-based baked goods such as
cakes, pastries, and breads.
• For best results when baking with one oven rack,
place racks in positions 2 or 3 (Figure 15).
• When baking using one oven rack, position
bakeware as shown in Figure 16. Allow at least
2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for
proper air circulation.

NOTE
The baking image is correct, but it's also for pre-
sentation purposes. You may also bake with the
left pan in the front and the right pan in the back.
Either position for either pan bakes correctly.
General Baking Tips:
• Preheat the oven 15 minutes before baking
items like cookies, biscuits, cakes, and breads.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or over browning
of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the
oven temperature or cook time to prevent over
browning of some foods. Dark pans are recom-
mended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended
for cakes, cookies, and muffi ns.
• Do not open the oven door too often. Open-
ing the door will reduce the temperature in the
oven.
• Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May
require reducing oven temperature.
