Multi-Shelf Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the
oven, foods can be baked with excellent results on
2 or 3 shelves at a time. Multi-shelf baking may
increase cook times slightly for some foods but the
overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits, and other
quickbreads
give very good results
with multi-shelf baking.
When baking on
3 shelves, divide the
oven into thirds by
placing the offset shelf
in the third (C) shelf
position and straight
shelves in first (A)
and fourth (D) shelf
position.

Shelf
For 2-shelf baking,
place the offset shelf in the
bottom (A) shelf position. Place the straight shelf in
the third (C) shelf position.
CAUTION: When you are using the offset shelf in
the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution
when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you
pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two
pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the sides of
it. The offset shelf is low and you could be burned if
you place your hand in the middle of the shelf and
pull all the way out.
NOTE:
When convection baking with only one shelf,
follow the shelf positions recommended in Oven
Shelves in the Regular Baking section.
How to Set Your Oven for Convection Baking
Your double oven has controls for the upper oven
and the lower oven. Be sure to set the correct
control. Pads on the left side of the panel are for
the upper oven. Pads on the right side of the panel
are for the lower oven. The TIMER ON/OFF,
COOK TIME, STOP TIME, INCREASE and
DECREASE pads can be used for either oven.
To avoid possible burns,
place the shelves in the
correct position before you turn the oven on.
