Detailed explanation-1: -If you are right-handed, stand at the left side of the oven with your left side toward the counter. If you are left-handed, stand at the right side of the oven with your right side toward the counter.
Detailed explanation-2: -You likely have 3 middle racksThese racks are evenly spaced and approximately halfway between the top and bottom heating element. You would use the middle racks when you set your oven to “bake” for baked goods that you want to feel an even heat (not too hot on top, and not too hot on the bottom).
Detailed explanation-3: -You can leave the door open to allow the heated air to flow throughout the room, but this can create a dangerous area to bump into for children, pets, and even adults. The heat coming from an oven left on for prolonged times can also cause damage to temperature dials and other items nearby.
