To arrange - always arrange

the oven racks when the oven

is cool (prior to operating the

oven).
To remove - pull the rack

forward until it stops. Lift up

front of rack and slide out.
To replace - fit oven rack onto

the rack guides on both sides

of oven walls. Tilt the front of

oven rack upward and slide

the rack back into place. Be

sure oven racks are level

before using.

Removing, replacing or arranging racks

Always use pot holders or oven mitts

when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior

and exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot

which can cause burns.

DO NOT line the oven walls, racks,

bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum

foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor

baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven

interior. Aluminum foil will melt to the interior of the oven.

Types of oven racks

Fig. 2

The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven

rack (some models) may be used for most cooking

needs. The half rack (some models) design comes with a

removable section that allows for taller cooking utensils.

REMOVE ALL OVEN RACKS and parts

before starting a self-clean cycle. If the oven racks are

left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, the glide ability

of the gliding racks will be damaged and will cause all

oven racks to loose their shiny finish and or turn blue.

Remove all oven racks and clean according to

instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of

this manual.

Oven vent location

The oven vent is located below 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 oven

vent.

Air circulation in the oven

For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the

cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and

cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or

back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate

around the cookware in the oven for even heat to reach

around the food (See Fig. 3 ).

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes or cookies using 2

oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 and 5.

For best results when baking cakes or cookies using a

single oven rack, place cookware on rack in positions 3 or

4 (See Fig. 2).
