USING YOUR RANGE

Positioning racks and pans

Place the oven racks where you need them before
turning on the oven.

•

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, 
raise the front edge and lift it out.

•

Be sure the rack(s) is level.

•

Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands
if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.

•

For best performance, cook on one rack. Place 
the rack so the top of the food will be centered in 
the oven.

•

When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks 
on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of
cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at
approximately three quarters of the total bake 
time. Increase baking time, if necessary.

•

For best results allow 2 inches of space around
each pan and between pans and oven walls.

Extra oven rack position (roasting rack)

Use this rack position when roasting food too large 
to be placed on the first rack position. 

•

To avoid spillage,

remove food before
pulling out the rack.

•

Tilt the rack up at the

front before pulling it 
over the door.

•

Use an adequate

amount of liquid in the

pan (meat juices or water) so your food does not 
get overdone.
