air circulation in tHe oven
If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple
racks, stagger cookware as shown.
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2’’ to 4"
around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure
pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door,
sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat
to reach around the food.

(PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN).
