Main Oven
One Rack Baking
The Bake mode is best for baking on one rack with
rack level #3 used for most baked items. If the item is
tall, such as an angel food cake, rack level #2 may be
used. Pies are best baked on rack level #2 to make
certain the bottom of the crust is done without over
browning the top. When large pieces of meat or poultry
are roasted, such as a prime rib of beef or a turkey,
rack level #2 is the preferred rack.
Two Rack Baking
Casserole dishes may also be baked using these two
levels. The Convection Bake mode may also be used.
Three Rack Baking
If three-rack baking is desired, the Convection Bake
mode should be used.
Secondary Oven (48" Models)
Baking on rack #3 will result in the best product. When
additional height is needed, rack #2 may be used. The
use of rack #2 with pies will result in a crisp bottom
crust without over baking the top.
