Baking layer cakes
Centering the baking pans in the oven as much as possible will produce better results. If baking
with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1” to 1½” of air space around it.
If baking four cake layers at the same time, place the oven racks in positions 2 and 5.
Place two pans in the front of the top rack and the other two pans in the rear of the bottom rack.

Before using the racks
The oven has three racks.
Each rack has stops that need to be placed correctly on the supports. These stops will keep the
rack from coming completely out.
REMOVING THE RACKS
REPLACING THE RACKS
1
. Pull the rack straight out until it stops.
2
. Lift up the front of the rack and pull it out.
1
. Place the end of the rack on the support.
2

CAUTION
Do not cover a rack with aluminum foil or place on the oven bottom. This will disturb

the heat circulation, resulting in poor baking, and may damage the oven bottom.
Arrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.
