Baking Tips:
• Preheat your oven before using the bake mode.
• During preheat, the three elements and the convection fan
are used in cycle to quickly heat the oven.
• Use only one rack and center the pans as much as possible
on rack 2 or 3.
• If using two racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and 4.
• Allow 2" to 4" (5,1 to 10,2cm) around the bakeware for
proper air circulation.
• Be sure the pans do not touch each other, the door, sides or
back of the oven
