Air Circulation In The Oven; Baking Informations - Frigidaire CPLCF489DC4 Use & Care Manual

Air Circulation in the
Oven
If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of
oveR.
For best air circulation and baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow
2-4" (5-10 cm) around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do
not touch each other or the door, sides and back of oven. The hot air must
circulate around the pans in tile oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.
