If using 1 rack (Figure 2), place in center of oven. If using
multiple racks (Figure 3), stagger cookware as shown.
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4"
(5-10,2 cm) around the cookware for proper air
circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch
each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven
