An internal cooling tim operates during all oven
modes. The w;mn air from inside the oven will be
exhausted out through vents located between the
door and control panel.
Do not allow this air flow to be ol)structed 1)v
draping kitchen towels met the front of the men in
imdercotmter applications.
Never entirely cover a rack with ahmfinum fifil. This
will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor
baking. A smaller sheet of toil may be used m catch
a spillover by plating it on a lower rack several
inches below the t0od.
NOTE:
For general
baking, only one or two racks
will be used. Three racks will be used only when
multi-rack baking. Remove the third rack fl'om the
oven when it is not is use.

Use the proper baking pan. The t},])e of finish on
the pan detemfines the amom]t of browning that
will occm:
• Dark, rough, or dull I)ans absorb heat resulting, in

• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat,
resulting in a lighte_; more delicate browning.
Cakes and cookies require this t},'l)e ot pan

Most recipes for baking have been developed
using high-tilt products such as butter or
mmgafine (80% tilt). If you decrease the tilt,
the recipe may not give the same results as
with a highe>tilt product.
Recipe fililm'e can result if cakes, pies, pastries,
cookies or candies are made with low-tilt spreads.
The lower the tilt content of a spread product, the
more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled
"margarine" to contain at least 80% tilt by weight.
I,omfilt spreads, on the other hand, contain less
tilt and more water. The high moistm'e content
(ff these spreads affect the texture and flavor of
baked goods. Dw best results with wmr old
fiwofite recipes, use mmgafine, butter or stick
spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
