CAUTION:
When you are using the
offset rack (on 27" models)
in the lowest position (A),
you will needto use
caution when pulling the
rack out, We recommend
that you pull the rack out
several inches and then,
using two pot holders, pull
the rack out by holding the
sides of it. The offset rack
is low and you could be
burned if you placeyour
hand in the middle of the
rack and pull all the way
out, Bevery careful not to
burn your hand on the door
when using a rack in the
lowest position (A).
Because heated air is drculated evenly throughout
tile oven, foods can be baked with excellent results
using multiple racks.
Tile
aIllO/Int of tillle
required for
multi-rack
baking may increase slightly tot some foods, but
overall time is saved because two to three times as
much food is cooked at once. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits, and other quick breads give good results
with multi-rack baking.
27" Ovens
When baking on 3 I'aCk% divide tile oven into
thirds by placing the offset rack in the third (C)
rack position and the straight racks in fi_t (A) and
fi)uYth (D) rack positions.
For two-rack
baking,
place tile offset rack in tile
bottom (A) rack posit.ion. Place the straight rack in
the third (C) rack position.
30" Ovens
When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in tile
second (g) position, one in tile fourth (D)
position and one in tile 6th (F) position. For
cookies, place one rack in the third (C) position,
one in the 5th (E) position and one in the 6th (F)
position.
