Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results when
baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. The control will beep when
the oven is preheated and the display will
show your set temperature. This will take
approximately ! 0-15 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are
centered in the oven as much as possible.Pans
should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. If you need to use two racks, stagger the
pans so one is not directly above the other, and
leave approximately !_" between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the wall.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms.
The foil will trap heat below and upset the
performance of the oven. Foilcan melt and
permanently damage the oven bottom.
Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is
not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a
sheet on a lower rack, several inches below
the food .Do not use more foil than necessary
and never entirely cover an oven rack with
aluminum foil. Keep foil at least !-!/2" from
oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
