Shelf Positions

The oven has five sh@fsupports for baking, roasting and baling i&ntified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special low shelf po “tion(R) for roasting extra large items, such as large turkey-the shelf is not designed to slide out at this position.

Preheating Pan Placement

To preheat, set the oven the correct temperature— selecting a higher tempe tum does not shorten preheat time.

Preheating is necessary f~r good results when baking cakes, cmkies, pastry ~ breads. For most casseroles and masts, preheating is pot necessary. For ovens without a preheat indica~r light or tone, preheat 10 so one is not directly above the other. minutes. After the oven ip preheated place the food in the oven as quickly as l~ible to prevent heat from escaping.

enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1-to 1Yi-inchspace between pans as well as ffom the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans

Pies

For best results, we pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce a bro~r, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil pans should be pw on an aluminum cookie sheet for baking since th@shiny foil pan reflects heat away from the pie crust; the cookie sheet hcips retain i~

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum f@. This will disturb

the heat circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may beusedtocatcha spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

cakes

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped products. A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than recommended, it maybe undercooked and batter may

used is the one recommended.

Baking Pans

Use the proper bal@g pan. The type of ftih on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

cDark, rough or d~ll pans absorb heat resulting in a

browner, crisper trust. Use this type for pies.

● Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect hex resulting

in a lighter, mor+elicate browning. Cakes and cookies require @is type of pan.

● Glass baking dis es AJOabsorb heat. When baking

Don’t Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking times such

as “bake 30-40 minutes.”

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door fkquently during cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times

longer. Yu baking results may also be affected.
