Preheating and Pan Placement

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 15–20 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans

are centered in the oven as much as

possible. If baking with more than one

pan, place the pans so each has at least 1

to 1

1

2

of air space around it. If baking

four cake layers at the same time, place

two layers on rack B and two layers on

rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is

not directly above the other.

Using the oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin…

The shelves have stops, so that when

placed correctly on the supports, they will

stop before coming completely out, and

will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,

pull the shelf out until it stops.
On some models, the bake heating

element is under the oven floor.

Do not place foods on the oven bottom

for cooking.

To remove a shelf,

pull it toward you, tilt

the front end up and pull it out.

To replace,

place the end of the shelf

(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the

front and push the shelf in.
CAUTION: When you are using the shelf in the
lowest position (A), you will need to use caution
when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that
you pull the shelf out several inches and then,
using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by
holding the sides of it. The shelf is low and you
could be burned if you place your hand in the
middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be
very careful not to burn your hand on the door
when using the shelf in the lowest position (A).

The oven has 6 shelf positions.

Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the

broiler pan and broiler grid. However,

you must mold the foil tightly to the grid

and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat

and meat juices from draining into the

broiler pan. The juices could become

hot enough to catch on fire. If you

do not cut the slits, you are essentially

frying, not broiling.

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.

Never entirely cover a shelf with

aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat

circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to

catch a spillover by placing it on a lower

shelf several inches below the food.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Do not place foods directly on the
oven floor.
