Baking results are
not what you
expected.

directions recommend preheat.
• Check rack positions. See page 12.
• Use correct pan. Dark pans produce dark browning. Shiny pans produce light browning.
See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet for more information on bakeware.
• Check the use of foil in the oven. Never use foil to cover an entire oven rack. Place a
small piece of foil on the rack below the pan to catch spillovers.
• Check pan placement. Stagger pans when using two racks. Allow 1-2 inches between
pans and oven walls.
• Make sure the oven vent has not been blocked. See page 12 for location.
• Check to make sure range is level.
Baking results
differ from
previous oven.
• Temperatures often vary between a new oven and an old one. As ovens age, the oven
temperature often “drifts” and may become hotter or cooler. See page 7 for instructions
on adjusting the oven temperature.
NOTE: It is not recommended to adjust the temperature if only one or two recipes are
in question.
Food is not
broiling

• Check oven setting. Seepage 13.
• Check oven rack positions. Seepage 13.
• Broil element was not preheated.
• Aluminum foil was incorrectly used. Never line the broiler insert with foil.
• Oven door was closed during broiling. Leave the door open to the first stop position
(about 4-inches).
