turning on the oven.. The oven has two four-position rack
guides Rack position No I is the lowest position while
position No_ 4 is the highest. In general, when using one
rack, place it at the No. 2 position When using two
racks, place one rack at the No 2 position and the other
at the No. 4 position_

on all sides of each pan in the oven. The following place.
