Air Circulation in the Oven
For good air circulation in the oven and best
baking results, center pans as much as possible.
Allow 5.1 to 10.2 cm (2" to 4") around the
utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure
pans do not touch each other, the door, sides or
back of oven. The hot air must circulate around
the pans for even heat to reach all parts of the
oven.
If using multiple pans, stagger as shown.
If using one pan, place in center of oven.
