RACKS
Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not move racks 
with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level. To move a 
rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift 
out. Use the following illustration and chart as a guide.
BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2 in. 
(5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the 
following chart as a guide.
Split Oven Rack
(on some models)
Split Oven Rack with Removable Insert
The split oven rack with removable insert is a space maximizer. 
When the two are attached, they make a full rack. The insert can 
also be removed to provide room for large items such as a turkey 
and casseroles, and it can also be used on the counter for a 
cooling rack.
Do not place more than 25 lbs. (11.3 kg) on the split oven rack or 
on the removable insert piece.
To Use Racks:
1.
Place a full rack on position 1 or 2, and the split oven rack on 
position 3 or 4.
2.
Place large items on the right side of the full rack.
3.
Place deeper, covered dishes on the left side of the full rack. 
4.
Place shallow dishes on the split oven rack.
5.
After the cooking is finished, carefully remove items.
Bakeware
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow 
manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size 
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.
Meat Thermometer
On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat 
thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The 
internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat 
thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.
Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion 
of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the 
thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat
¹⁄₂ in. (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature 
drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.
Check all meat in two or three places.
