USING THE RANGE:OvenRacks/AluminumFoilandOvenLiners/Cookware
Recommended rack positions for various types of foods
are provided in the Oven Cooking Guide. Adjusting
rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For
example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes,
muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position
higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving
them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow
sufficient space for air to flow.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired
position before you turn the oven on.

CAUTION
Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat
or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of
these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more

to prevent poor heat circulation.
Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
The number of rack positions may vary by model.
Cooking Modes
Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below.
Refer to the Oven Cooking Guide section for rack position and other recommendations for specific modes and foods.
Baking and Roasting Modes
Select a mode for baking and roasting based on the
type and quantity of food you are preparing. When
preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and
pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe
recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines
are provided, center food in the oven.
Traditional Bake
The Bake mode is for baking and roasting. When preparing
baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries, always
preheat the oven first. To use this mode press the Bake
pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start.
Convection Bake
This mode uses air movement from the convection fan
to enhance cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped
with Auto Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to
adjust the temperature when using this mode. Always
preheat when using this mode. Baking time might be
slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be
expected for a single rack. To use this mode press the
Convection Bake pad, enter a temperature, and then
press Start.
Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily
than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more
readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier
than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature by 25º F next time.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies
and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom
browning.

Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well. It is
recommended to preheat this type of cookware if
possible. Additional cook time may be required.
Cookware used in broil modes and air fry must be broil-
safe.
