Air Circulation in the Oven
If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of oven.
For best air circulation and baking results, center pans as much
as possible. Allow 2-4" (5-I 0 cm) around the utensil(s) for
proper air circulation and be sure pans do not touch each
other, the door, sides or back of oven. Tile hot air must
circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach
all parts of tile oven.
