To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The racks have stops, so that when placed
correctly on the supports, they will stop
before coming completely out, and will
not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out until it stops.
On some models, the bake heating
element is under the oven floor. Do not
place foods on the oven bottom for
cooking.
To remove a rack,
pull it toward you,
tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace,
place the end of the rack
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the rack in.
CAUTION:
When you are using a
rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to
use caution when pulling the rack out. We
recommend that you pull the rack out several
inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the
rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low
and you could be burned if you place your hand in
the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be
very careful not to burn your hand on the door
when using the rack in the lowest position (A).

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. The control will beep when
the oven is preheated and the display will
show your set temperature.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
2.5 cm to 3.8 cm
(
1
″
to 1
1
⁄
2
″
)
of air space
around it.
If baking four cake layers at the same time,
place two layers on rack B and two layers on
rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is
not directly above the other.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become hot
enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut
the slits, you are essentially frying, not
broiling.
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.
