Getting the most out of your appliance Oven rack positions Rack level positions in the oven are numbered on the front frame like an elevator. Number one level is the lowest and number five level is at the top. Main oven two rack baking Levels 2 and 5 dual fuel 2 and 4 gas Bake or conv bake mode -- Casserole dishes Secondary oven (48" models) Level Bake mode 1 -- Best used for most baked items. Main oven three rack baking If three-rack baking is desired, the Convection Bake mode is best. NOTE: Rack positions are general recommendations for baking; however, if a recipe calls for a different rack position than those given, then the recipe or package directions should be followed. Bake About bake Bake is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower elements cycle to maintain the oven temperature. The bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature and baking time. Main oven one rack baking Level Bake mode 3 -- Best used for most baked items. 2 -- If the item is tall, such as an angel food cake. -- 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. Getting the best results • Minimize opening the oven door(s). • Use the rack position recommended by the recipe. • Use the bakeware recommended in the recipe. • Store the broiler pan(s) outside the oven. An extra pan without food affects the browning and cooking. • The type of pan used affects the browning: • For tender, golden brown crusts, use light non-stick/anodized or shiny metal pans. • For brown crisp crusts, use dark non-stick/ anodized or dark, dull metal pans or glass bakeware. These may require lowering the bake temperature 25°F. Preheating the oven • Most cooking times in recipes are designed for a preheated oven and require that the oven already be at a certain temperature before cooking starts. Refer to your recipe for preheating recommendations. • Preheating time depends on the temperature setting and the number of racks in the oven. Bakeware type • Metal bakeware (with or without a non-stick finish), heat-proof glass, glass-ceramic, pottery, or other utensils are suitable for the oven. • Suitable cookie sheets have a small lip on one side. Heavy sheets or those with more than one side may affect the baking time. Page. 39
