How to Set Your Range for Baking
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the
correct position before you turn the oven on.
1. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired
temperature.
2. Check the food for doneness at the minimum
time on the recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
3. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF and then
remove the food from the oven.

Oven Shelves

Arrange the ot'en
shelf or shelves in
the desired locations
while the oven is
cool. The correct
shelf position
depends on the kind
of food and the
browning desired.
As a general rule,
place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either
shelf positions B or C. See the chart for suggested
shelf positions. B will be used more than C.
Preheating
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat
means bringing the oven up to the specified
temperature before putting the food in the oven.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature—
selecting a higher temperature does not shorten
preheat time.
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

Roasting

or tone, preheat 10 minutes. After the oven is
preheated, place the food in the oven as quickly as
possible to prevent heat from escaping.
