Oven Baking
For best cooking results, heat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries, etc. There is no need to preheat the oven for
roasting meat or baking casseroles.
The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from your previously owned appliance.

Air Circulation in the
Oven
For good air circulation in the oven and best
baking results, center pans as much as pos-
sible. 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 circu-
late 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.
