Rack positions and pan placement for layer cakes in
27" (68.6 cm) Convection and Non-Convection ovens
For best results when baking layer cakes on 2 racks in the upper
and lower oven, use racks 2 and 5. Place the cakes on the racks
as shown.
BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls.
Bakeware
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow
manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.
Meat Thermometer
Use a meat thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and
fish are cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal
temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine
doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this
appliance. Follow manufacturer's directions for using a meat
thermometer.
Oven Vent(s)
The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they
allow the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the
bottom vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the
inlet of fresh air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air
from the cooling system. Blocking or covering vents will cause
poor air circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning and cooling
results.
