Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
working with a hot oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven
racks and cooktop will become hot enough to cause burns.
DO not cook foods directly on the oven bottom. To avoid
damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always cook foods in
the oven using cookware positioned on an oven rack

If BAKE is active without a cook time setting, the oven wilt

settings" on page 18 for instructions.
For best results
• Place food items using oven rack positions 2 or 4.
(Figure 40)
• When using an offset oven rack (some models), place in
oven rack position 2 or 3.
• For best results when baking cakes using 2 racks, place
cookware on oven rack positions 2 and 4. (Figure 41)
• When using 2 oven racks for baking, position cookware
allowing 2-4 inches (5-10cm) of space between the food
items to ensure proper circulation.
• 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 tem-
perature 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 batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes,
pastries, and breads, use the standard bake function for
best results.

time after starting a bake. Refer to the cook time section
for complete instructions.
