Place the cakes on the rack as shown.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5 for regular baking.
Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use rack positions
2 and 5 with the Bake function. Place the cakes on the racks as
shown.
Baking Cookies on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use rack
positions 2 and 5 with the Bake function.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2"
(5.0cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.
Number of Pan(s) Position on Rack
1 Center of rack
2 Side by side
3 or 4 Refer to the previous illustration
NOTE: Bakeware materials and color may affect results. Dark,
dull, non-stick or glass pans may require shorter baking times;
in contrast insulated or stainless steel pans may require longer
baking times. Follow bakeware manufacturer’s recommendations.
Oven Vent
The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since they allow
the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the bottom
vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the inlet of
fresh air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air from the
cooling system. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air
circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning, and cooling results.
Baking and Roasting
Preheating
When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating
after START/ is pressed. The oven will take approximately
13to 19minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven
racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher
temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly
increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature
will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when
your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when
you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper
temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do
not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
Rapid Preheat
Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only
one standard at oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid
Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Rapid
Preheat. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing
food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete, the
oven starts a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for single-rack
baking.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed
to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly
hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the
oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven
which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is
recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in
the non-convection bake mode to improve oven performance.
Broiling
When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food
in, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food
on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven
rack. Close the oven door to ensure proper broiling temperature.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the rst few times the oven is
used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the
cooking will be. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat,
sh, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Place the
food in the upper or lower oven. Refer to the “Positioning Racks
and Bakeware” section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to
maintain the proper temperature.
■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. Please refer to the “Accessories” section for more
information.
