your previously owned appliance.

For best air circulation and baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow 2"-4"
(5-10cm) around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do not touch
each other, the door, sides or back of oven. The hot air must circulate around the pans
in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.
