Oven Racks

Various types of foods are provided in the Cooking
Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact
cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker
tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one
rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on
top try moving them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
sufficient space for air to flow.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired
position before you turn the oven on.

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

CAUTION:
Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap
heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use
of these items 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
to prevent poor heat circulation.

Cookware

Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily
than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more
readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier
than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
49-88058
The oven has 4 shelf positions.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies
and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom
browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
