Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
The oven has 7 rack positions.
Before you begin...
The racks have stop-locks, 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 rack out to the bump on the rack
support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you,
tilt the front end up and pull it out.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Press the Bake pad.
On models with number pads, press
them in order to set the desired
temperature.
On models with Temp + and – pads,
press them to increase or decrease the
set desired temperature.
Press the Start pad.
Check food for doneness at minimum
time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
Press the Reset/Off pad when cooking
is complete.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary
for good results when baking cakes,
cookies, pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat 10 minutes.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.

To replace, place the end of the rack
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the rack in.
CAUTION:
Never place cooking
utensils or any other items on the oven floor.
There is a heating element beneath the oven
floor. Placing items on the oven floor may cause
the oven to overheat, resulting in damage to the
oven and risk of damage or fire to cabinets.

For 27 " Ovens: If baking four cake layers at the
same time, place two layers on rack A and two
layers on rack C.
For 30 " Ovens: 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.
NOTE: A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off
to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
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 1
between pans, from the front, back and
sides of the wall.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a
spillover by placing it on a lower rack several
inches below the food.
