ECOMMENDATIONS
• Use tested recipes from reliable sources.
• Preheat the oven only when necessary.
For baked foods that rise and for richer
browning, a preheated oven is better.
Casseroles can be started in a cold oven.
Preheating takes from 8 to 13 minutes;
place food in oven after Oven Indicator
Light cycles off.
• Arrange oven racks before turning on
oven. Follow suggested rack positions
listed in the chart below.
• Allow about 2 inches of space between
the oven side walls and pans to allow
proper air circulation.

diagram.)
Stagger Pans
• To conserve energy, avoid frequent or
prolonged door openings. At the end of
cooking, turn oven OFF before removing
food.
• Always test for doneness (fingertip, tooth-
