Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish,
do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2"
(5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure
that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
■ Position racks before turning on the oven.
■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
■ Make sure racks are level.
To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front
edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a
guide.
The oven has 7 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous
illustration and the following table.
For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare
interior, use a flat rack in rack position
7. Side 1 should cook for
approximately 2½ to 3½ minutes. Side 2 should cook for
approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke
when broiling.
IMPORTANT: If your model has a Max Capacity Rack, the
recessed ends must be placed in the rack position above the
desired position of the food. See the following illustration.
IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max
Capacity Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as
shown in the previous figure.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5 for regular baking.
2-rack (convection only): Use rack positions 2 and 5.
3-rack (true convection only): Use rack positions 2, 4 and 6.
NOTE: The roll-out rack, which is available on some models, sits
midway between adjacent rack positions. When used for 3-rack
baking, it is recommended that it be placed in rack position
4. The
roll-out rack will fit in all rack positions except rack position
7.
