Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. The control will beep when
the oven is preheated and the display will
show your set temperature. This will take
approximately 4–6 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
1
″
to 1
1
⁄
2
″
of air space around it.
NOTE:
To bake angel food cake and Bundt cake,
it is recommended that you only use the lower
oven.

Before you begin…
The upper rack, with two front handles,
has stops, so that when placed correctly
on the supports, it will stop before
coming completely out, and will not tilt.
NOTE:
Use the rack with the two front handles in
the upper oven.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out until it stops.
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:
When you are using a
rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to
use caution when pulling the rack out. (Be sure to
use the handles on the rack.) We recommend that
you pull the rack out several inches and then,
using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding
the sides of it. The rack is low and you could be
burned if you place your hand in the middle of the
rack and pull all the way out. Be very careful not
to burn your hand on the door when using the
rack in the lowest position (A).
The oven has 2 rack positions.
