To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Aluminum Foil
Aluminum foil may be used to catch a spillover.
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.
Using the oven.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results when
baking cakes, cookies, pastries and breads.
The display will show “PrE” while preheating. When
the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven
control will beep and the display will show the oven
temperature.
If baking four cake layers at the
same time, place two layers on
rack C and two layers on rack E.
Stagger pans on the rack so one
is not directly above the other.
Baking results will be better if the food is
centered in the oven as much as possible.
Angel Food cake is the exception and should
be placed on the bottom oven rack (position
A). Follow package direction on prepackaged
and frozen foods for pan placement. Pans
should not touch each other or the walls of
the oven. If you need to use two racks, stagger
the pans so one is not directly above the
other. Leave approximately 1
1
⁄
2
″
between
pans and from the front, back and sides
of oven wall.
Do not place foods directly on the
oven floor.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Press the
BAKE
pad.
Press the
+
or
–
pads until the desired
temperature is displayed.
Press the
START/ON
pad.
The oven will start automatically. The display
will show
PrE
while preheating. When the
oven reaches the selected temperature, the
oven control will beep several times and the
display will show the oven temperature.
To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle,
press the
BAKE
pad and then the
+
or
–
pads to get
the new temperature.
Check food for doneness at minimum
time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
Press the
CLEAR/OFF
pad when baking
is finished and then remove the food
from the oven.
Before you begin…
The racks have stop-locks, 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 to the bump on the rack
support.
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:
Never place cooking
utensils or any other items on the oven floor. There
is a heating element beneath the oven floor. Placing
items on the oven floor may cause the oven to
overheat, resulting in damage to the oven and risk
of damage or fire to cabinets.
The number of rack positions varies
by model.
