Pan Placement
• When using a large, flat pan that covers most of the oven rack,
use only one pan at a time, for best results.
• When using two racks and several pans, stagger the pans sono
pan is directly above another. Place racks so that 1V2inches of air
space are left above, below, and around all sides of each pan.
Baking and browning evenly depend on proper air circulation in
the oven; and proper circulation requires air space. If possible,
place racks in bottom position and second-from-top
position
when baking on both racks.
• For mixes, prepackaged and frozen foods, follow label directions.
Remember, however, that cooking times are approximate and
can be adjusted to suit personal preferences.
• For possible pie or casserole overflow, cut a piece of aluminum
foil slightly larger than the utensil, turn up edges and place on
the rack below food item.
BAKING
Before baking, always slide racks into desired position while oven is
cool. Use the minute timer to help make baking easier.
To use for regular
baking:
1. Set the thermostat
dial to the desired temperature.
2. Turn the selector dial to "BAKE".
3. When baking is completed turn the thermostat and selector dials
to OFF.
Preheating the oven
For best results, always preheat the oven unless the recipe states
otherwise. Set the thermostat and selector dials and allow the oven
to heat until the oven indicator light goes out. A cold start -- without
preheat -- may be used for meats, oven meals, clock-controlledoper-
ations and when the recipe specifies.
The Oven Indicator Light glows until the oven reaches the selected
temperature and will cycle off and on as the selected temperature is
maintained.
Do not slide the door lock lever to the right for normal baking.
This is ONLY used during the self-clean cycle.
This is how oven operates during baking or
roasting:
The air within the oven is heated by the bake element, located at the
bottom of the oven and the broil element at the top of the oven. The
heated air moves around the oven to heat the food within the pans.
Note: Only the bake element will glow red during baking.
