Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used. Center food
in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. If conventional baking, allow the oven to
preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's
recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see
"Adjusting the Oven Temperature" section in this Use and Care Guide.

fan may continue to run after the range has been turned "OFF", but may also stop
immediately and then turn "ON" after a while.

"Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle" in this Use and Care Guide.
