Getting Started

Arranging Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING
THE OVEN). Three chrome-plated Smooth-Glide™ oven racks and one chrome plated conventional
oven rack are provided with your range.
To bake on a single rack, place the rack in position 3. To bake on 2 racks, place the racks in position
2 and 7. To bake on 3 racks, place the racks in position 1, 3 and 7. See Figure 19.
Figure 19

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks

For best results when baking cakes or cookies using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions
2 and 7 (see figure 20). For best results when using a single oven rack, place cookware on rack
position 3 (see figure 21).

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper
air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. The hot air must be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in
the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
