Rack Positions:
For best performance, adjust rack so food is placed at the center of the
oven. For most foods this will be rack position #4. For larger foods like
roasts and turkey, move the rack position down to #3 or #2 to keep the
food centered in the oven. When using multiple racks simultaneously,
try to space the food out around the oven center (rack position #3 and
#5 for two racks). Broiling performs best with the food close to the broil
burner - typically rack position #6 or #7.

Preheating:
For oven modes that require preheating, the control will automatically enter
preheat mode after "START/ENTER" is pressed. Preheating is generally
desirable, although not absolutely necessary in all circumstances. Some
foods are more robust and may have acceptable results without preheating.
These foods include large pieces of meat (whole roasts, hams, or poultry)
where the total cooking time is much longer than the time required to
preheat. These foods also include frozen potato products and frozen
processed dinners that, by their nature and design, are more robust to
baking variations. More delicate foods, such breads (including cakes,
cookies, pastries, and pizzas), desserts, soufflés, etc. will likely not have
acceptable results without proper preheating.
