USING THE RANGE:2YHQ5DFNV$OXPLQXP)RLODQG2YHQ/LQHUV&RRNZDUH Oven Racks Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time. When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow sufficient space for air to flow. To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on. The number of rack positions may vary by model. Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners CAUTION Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty. )RLOPD\EHXVHGWRFDWFKVSLOOVE\SODFLQJDVKHHWRQDORZHUUDFNVHYHUDOLQFKHVEHORZWKHIRRG'RQRWXVHPRUH IRLOWKDQQHFHVVDU\DQGQHYHUHQWLUHO\FRYHUDQRYHQUDFNZLWKDOXPLQXPIRLO.HHSIRLODWOHDVW´IURPRYHQZDOOV to prevent poor heat circulation.

Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25ºF next time. Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies. Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards. Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning. .HHSFRRNZDUHFOHDQWRSURPRWHHYHQKHDWLQJ Cooking Modes Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results.
