Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish,
do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2"
(5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that
no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
• Position racks before turning on the oven.
• Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure racks are level.
To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front
edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a
guide.

A. Ends of rack in position 3
B. Food in position 2
IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max
Capacity Oven Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as
shown in the previous figure.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack (non-convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.
2-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.
3-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 7 and a Max
Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 5.
Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
Baking Layer Cakes
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use the Bake
function, a flat rack in rack position 3 and a roll-out rack in rack
position 5. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Keep at least 3"
(7.6 cm) of space between the front of the racks and the front
cakes.
The oven has 7 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous
illustration and the following table.
7 Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers,
steaks
3 or 4 Most baked goods, casseroles, frozen
foods
1 Large roasts or poultry
For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare
interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. Side 1 should cook for
approximately 21/2to 3V2minutes. Side 2 should cook for
approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke
when broiling.
*If your model has a Max Capacity Oven Rack, the recessed ends
must be placed in the rack position above the desired position
of the food. See the following illustration.
Baking Cookies
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use the
Convection Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 3 and a roll-
out rack in rack position 4.
