Oven racks should be positioned before the
oven is turned on.
1. Pull rack forward to the stop position.
2. Raise the front edge and pull it out of the
oven.
:3. Place rack in desired location.

facing up and toward the rear of the oven.
Convection Pan Placement
Baking pans and cookie sheets should not touch
the side or rear walls of the oven. If pans are
placed on different racks, they can be placed
directly over each other. Convection cooking
circulates air around the oven providing even
browning on all rack positions. When using
convection, the oven can be loaded on all racks
with excellent cooking results.

are placed on different racks, they should be
staggered so that one is not located directly
underanother. Thiswill prevent uneven browning
of foods.

subsequent smoking and odor, setthe oven
to bake at 350 ° for approximately 2 hours.
