Types of oven racks
Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven
rack styles shown.
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the
control panel (See Fig. 1).  When the oven is on, warm
air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for
proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Do not block the oven vent.

The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs. The
Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) is described later
in this section.
The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than
normal. This rack design provides several additional
possible positions between the standard postions.
To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven
rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking
and when roasting large cuts of meat.
Removing, replacing & arranging racks
To remove - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out.
To replace - fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls.
Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into
place.
Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to  operating the oven).
Always use oven mitts when using the oven.  When
using the appliance, oven racks and cooktop will become
very hot which can cause burns.
