IMPORTANT
For this appliance, single rack radiant bake is the
recommended bake function for best results for
batter and dough-based baked goods such as
cakes, pastries, and breads.
• For best results when baking with one oven
rack, place racks in positions 2 or 3 (Figure 11).
• When baking using one oven racks, position
bakeware as shown in Figure 12. Allow at least
2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware

position.
NOTE
The single rack baking image is correct, but it’s
also for presentation purposes. You may also
bake with the left pan in the front and the right
pan in the back. Either position for either pan
bakes correctly.
• For best results when baking cakes or cookies
using two oven racks, place racks in positions
1 and 3 (Figure 11) and place pans as shown in
Figure 13.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
bakeware for proper air circulation.
IMPORTANT
When baking using two oven racks, the pans on
each rack must be swapped half way through the
cook time for best results.
General Baking Tips:
• Preheat the oven 15 minutes before baking
items like cookies, biscuits, cakes, and breads.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or over browning
of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the
oven temperature or cook time to prevent
over browning of some foods. Dark pans
are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are
recommended for cakes, cookies, and muns.
• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening
the door will reduce the temperature in the
oven.
• Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May
require reducing oven temperature.
