Guide
• Center pans on racks for best baking results. If
baking with more than one pan, place the pans so
that each one has at least 1" to 1
around it. Do not allow pans to touch the walls of
the oven.
• If cooking on single rack, place the rack in the
position suggested in the charts on the following
pages. Center the cookware as shown in the upper
rack of the multiple rack image.
• If cooking on multiple racks in the oven, place racks
in positions 1 and 4. For best results, place the
cookware as shown, centered on the top rack and
toward the front on the bottom rack.
