Centering the baking pans in the oven as
much as possible will produce better results.
When baking with more than one pan, place
the pans so each has at least 1˝ to 1½˝ of
air space around it.
When baking on a single oven rack, place
the rack in position 3 or 4.
When baking on two racks place the oven
racks in positions 3 and 5 for the best
results.
Using the oven racks
Your gas oven range comes with 3 racks and 7 rack positions. The rack positions
are delineated by rack guides which support the racks. Each rack guide has a stop
that prevents racks from loosening during the oven’s operation. Each rack has
stoppers that need to be placed correctly on the rack guides. The stoppers prevent
the racks from accidently coming out of the oven completely when you pull the
racks out.

CAUTION
•
Do not cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. This will hamper heat circulation,
resulting in poor baking.
•
Do not place aluminum foil on the oven bottom. The aluminum can melt and
damage the oven.
•
Arrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.
•
When placing an oven rack in the topmost rack position (position 7), make sure
the rack is situated stably on the embossed stop.
