Oven Controls
Important note:
Do not put food into oven until preheat is complete. Bake will
stay on continuously until the oven reaches the target tempera-
ture.

For best results:
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, or breads.
• When using a single rack for baking, position the rack so
that the food is in the center of the oven. If using a single
rack in the upper oven, use position 2.
• For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks,
place bakeware on oven rack positions 1 and 3 (Figure 33)
and place pans as shown in Figure 34.
• Use positions 1 and 3 when baking cookies on multiple pans
in the lower oven.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between the right
and left side of the bakeware and the oven cavity's wall for
proper air circulation (Figure 32).
• Dark or dull pans and glass absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware resulting in dark or over browning of foods. To
prevent this it may be necessary to reduce the oven temper-
ature or cook time to prevent over browning of some foods.
Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are
recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.
• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven.
• For cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection bake
function for best results when using multiple racks.
