USING YOUR OVEN For best air circulation Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking. • Place the pans so that one is not directly over the other. • For best results, allow 1-1/2 to 2 inches (4-5 cm.) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls. • Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time. 74::0,:er(fr 7- Use the following as a guide to determine where to place the pans: One pan Place in the center of the oven rack. Two pans Place in opposite corners of the oven rack or on two separate racks. Three or four pans Place in opposite corners on each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another. Baking Your new oven may heat differently than your old oven. The times and temperatures to which you have been accustomed may vary slightly because of these differences. BAKING HINTS 1. Always follow the package instructions or a reliable recipe. Use the recommended pan size. Cooking times may vary in high altitude areas. 2. Baking results will be better if pans are centered as much as possible. For best results, bake only one pan at a time. Pan should be placed so top of food is centered in the oven. Bake food for minimum recommended time or until food is done and properly browned. 3. Do not place large cookie sheets or pans on a rack in the bottom position. Doing so will block air circulation and may cause the oven to heat improperly. 4. For 30" ranges, when two cakes or pies are baked at the same time, place both pans on the same rack, using the second rack position from the bottom. When four cakes or pies are baked at the same time, place two pans on each rack, using the second and fourth rack positions from the bottom. For 20" ranges, bake only one cake at a time. - 9 -
