Baking Tips
• For best results, food should be placed on a
single rack with at least 1” to 1 1/2” of air space
between the pans and oven walls.
• Baking time and temperature will vary
depending on the characteristics, size, and
shape of the baking pan used.
• Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe
time.
• Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick
finish), heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic or
other bakeware recommended for oven use.
• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook
food faster with more browning. Insulated
bakeware will slightly lengthen the cooking time
for most foods.
• The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel finish.
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven
bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a
cookie sheet on the rack below the rack you are
cooking on. This is particularly important when
baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid
content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are
highly acidic may cause pitting and damage to
the porcelain-enamel surface and should be
wiped up immediately.
Recommended Baking Guide
Rack and Pan Placement
Baking results will be better if baking pans are
centered in the oven as much as possible. If
cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in
the positions shown.
Multiple-rack cooking saves time and energy.
Whenever possible, cook foods requiring the same
cooking temperature together in one oven.
If baking with more than one pan, place the pans
so that each one has at least 1” to 1 ½” of air space
around them.

NOTE
• When baking cakes and cookies on multiple
racks, use the Convection Bake mode and place
racks in positions B and D.
Broil Mode
Setting the Oven to Broil
Broiling uses an intense, radiant heat to cook food.
Both the inner and outer broil elements heat
during full broiling. Only the inner broil element
heats during center broiling. The element(s) cycle
on and off at intervals to maintain the oven
temperature. The meat probe cannot be used with
this mode.
Keep the oven door closed while broiling. Let the
oven preheat for approximately 5 minutes before
cooking food.
