Single Rack Baking
•
For best results when baking with one oven rack, place
racks in positions 2 or 3 (
Figure 22
).
•
When baking using one oven rack, position bakeware
as shown in
Figure 23
. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of
space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
•
The single rack baking image is correct, but it’s also for
presentation purposes. You may also bake with the left
pan in the front and the right pan in the back. Either
position for either pan bakes correctly.
•
If you choose to use a single rack while cooking, then
radiant baking is preferred. If you choose to use multiple
rack while cooking, then Convection baking is preferred.
Multi-Rack Baking
If you choose to use multiple rack while cooking, then
Convection baking is preferred.
•
For best results when baking cakes or cookies using
two oven racks, place racks in positions 1 and 3
(
Figure 22
) and place pans as shown in
Figure 24
.
•
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
bakeware for proper air circulation.
General Baking Tips:
•
When using convection, use bakeware with low sides.
This allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.
•
Because most food items will cook faster and more
evenly with the convection feature, it is advisable to
reduce recipe’s recommended temperature by 25° for
best results. Follow the recipe’s instructions using the
minimum recommended cook time.
•
When using Conv Bake, cook time reductions may vary
depending on the amount and type of food being
cooked.
•
Fully preheat the oven for 8-10 minutes before baking
items like cookies, biscuits and breads.
•
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It
may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or
cook time to prevent over browning of some foods. Dark
pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recom-
mended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
•
Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door
will reduce the temperature in the oven.
•
Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May require
reducing oven temperature.
Incorrect operation of the appliance or defective compo-
nents can cause dangerous overheating. To prevent this,
this appliance has a safety thermostat which interrupts
the power supply. The appliance must be manually
activated after the temperature drop, restoring the timer.

Figure 23: Baking with a single rack
For this appliance, single rack radiant bake is the recom-
mended bake function for best results for batter and
dough-based baked goods such as cakes, pastries, and
breads.
WARNING
IMPORTANT
Figure 24: Baking with multiple levels & racks
When baking using two oven racks, the pans on each
rack must be swapped half way through the cook time for
best results. The top rack should go on the bottom rack
and the bottom to the top.
