Many foods such as meat, poultry,
casseroles, or other long cooking
foods cook well without preheating
the oven. See your recipe for pre-
heating recommendation. Preheat-
ing is achieved in 10 to 15  minutes,
depending on the temperature set-
ting.

▲

Minimize opening the door:
• Use a minute timer.
• Use the interior oven lights.

▲

Choose the right size utensil:
use the utensil recommended
in the recipe.

▲

Store the broiler pans outside
the ovens. An extra pan with-
out 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
utensils.

•

For brown crisp crusts, use
dark non-stick/anodized or
dark, dull metal utensils  or
glass bakeware. These may
require lowering the  bake
temperature 25˚F.

Thislight turns on when the oven
heats and cycles off when the set
temperature has been reached. The
cycling continues as long as a BAKE
or  CONVECTION  • BAKE
mode is set.

Metal bakeware (with or without a non-stick finish),  heat-proof glass,
glass-ceramic, pottery, or other utensils suitable for the oven.

One or two racks of food can be cooked in the oven at the same time. Place
racks in the oven before turning it on. Position #2 is the most commonly
used for single rack cooking. See below for recommended rack positions.

#3 Use this rack in combina-

tion

with rack #1 for double
rack baking.

#2 Use this rack when baking

single pan foods, such as
cakes, breads, pies, des-
serts, casseroles, cookies,
or a single rack oven meal.

#1 Use this rack for air leav-

ened cakes (Angel Food),
a large roast, turkey or other large food item.

If you are using racks #1 and #3, be sure to check for doneness sooner
than the minimum time. The food on the lower rack position may cook
slightly faster than the food on the upper position. If using one rack with
a large commercial baking pan , the food may take a few extra minutes as
the air cannot circulate as freely as it does with a smaller pan.

▲

Allow at least 1" of space be-
tween the pans and the oven
walls so heat can circulate
around each pan.

▲

Stagger baking utensils so that
one is not directly above an-
other. Allow 1-1/2 inches above
and below each pan.

1. Set Temperature on Gas Thermostat Dial.
▲ The bake burner flame lights in 60 to 90 seconds.
▲ The flame cycles of when the selected temperature is reached,

then cycles on again to maintain selected temperature.
