USING THE OVEN
Positionin?
racks a nd pans
Place the oven racks where you need them before
turning on the oven.
• To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position,
raise the front edge and lift it out.
• Be sure the rack(s) is level.
• Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands
if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.
• For best performance,
cook on one rack. Place
the rack so the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.
• When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks
on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of
cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at
approximately
three quarters of the total bake
time. Increase baking time, if necessary.
• For best results allow 2 inches of space around
each pan and between pans and oven walls.
Extra o ven r ack p osition (roastin rack)
Use this rack position when roasting food too large
to be placed on the first rack position.
For proper roasting,
follow these guidelines:
• To avoid spillage,
remove food before
pulling out the rack.
• Tilt the rack up at the
front before pulling it
over the door.
