The flat oven rack may be used for most cooking needs

for most cooking needs and may be placed in most rack
positions. Similar to the flat rack but comes with a
handle.
The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional

(some
models)
For best baking results allow 2 to 4 inches (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. For even
heating, hot air must be able to circulate freely around the
pans and cookware (See Fig. 1).

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack in positions 2 & 4. For best results
when using a single or an offset oven rack, place
cookware on rack in position 2, 3 or 4.
