offset
oven rack
The flat oven rack or fiat handle oven rack (on some
models)
may be used for most cooking
needs.
The offset
oven rack (on some models) will place the base
of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position
lower than a flat
oven rack. This feature
provides
several additional
possible
oven rack positions.
Air circulation
in the oven
For best bakincj results allow
2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the
cookware
for proper
air circulation
and be sure pans and
cookware
do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware
in the oven for even heat to
reach around
the food.
