Using The Oven - Sears Kenmore 665.95775 Use & Care Manual

USING THE OVEN
Place the SturdiGlide
TM
oven racks where you
need them before turning on the oven.
• To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position,
raise the front edge and lift it out.
• Be sure the rack(s) is level.
• Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your
hands if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is
hot.
• For best performance, cook on one rack. Place
the rack so the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.
• When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks
on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of
cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at
approximately three quarters of the total bake
time. Increase baking time, if necessary.
• For best results allow
inches of space around
each pan and between
pans and oven walls.
Hot air must circulate
around the pans in the
oven for even heat to
reach all parts of the
oven. This results in bet-
ter baking.
Where to place pans:
WHEN YOU HAVE PLACE
1 pan In center of the oven rack.
2 pans Side by side or slightly
staggered.
3 or 4 pans In opposite corners on
each oven rack. Stagger
pans so no pan is directly
over another.
