This table is for reference only.
Centering the baking pans in the oven
as much as possible will produce better
results. If baking with more than one pan,
place the pans so each has at least 1˝ to
1½˝ of air space around it.
When baking on a single oven rack, place
the oven rack in position 3 or 4. See the
figure on the left.

Before using the racks
The oven has two racks.
Each rack has stops that need to be placed correctly on the supports. These stops
