Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish,
do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure
that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
■ Position racks before turning on the oven.
■ Do not move racks with bakeware on them.
■ Make sure racks are level.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge,
and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a
guide.
The oven has 7 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous
illustration and the following table.
For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare
interior, use rack position 7. Side 1 should cook for approximately
2½ - 3½ minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately
4-5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.
*If your model has a Max Capacity Rack, the recessed ends must
be placed in the rack position above the desired position of the
food. See the following illustration.
IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max
Capacity Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as
shown in the previous figure.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5 for regular baking.
2-rack (convection only): Use rack positions 2 and 5; or 3 and 6.
3-rack (true convection only): Use rack positions 1, 4 and 7; or 2, 4
and 6.
Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
Baking Layer Cakes
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use the Convect
Bake function and racks 2 and 5. Place the cakes on the racks as
shown.
Baking Cookies
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use the Convect
Bake function and rack positions 2 and 5.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven
vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent.
