Positioning racks and pans For baking/roasting with one rack, the rack should be placed so the top of the food will be centered in the oven. Always leave at least 1 l/2 to 2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan and the oven walls and other pans.

Using the electronic Minute Timer The Minute Timer does not start or stop the oven. It works like a kitchen timer. It can be set in hours and minutes up to 11 hours, 59 minutes. The Minute Timer will display minutes and seconds for settings under one hour.
