Oven Racks

The two oven racks are designed with a lock-stop position to keep the racks from accidentally coming completely out of the oven when there is food placed on them.

To remove: Be sure the rack is cool. Pull the rack straight out until it stops. Tilt the front end of the rack up and continue pulling the rack out of the oven.

To replace: Tilt the front end of the rack up and place the rack between the rack supports. Slide it back until it clears the lock-stop position. Lower the front and slide the rack straight in. Pull the rack out to the lock-stop position to be sure it is positioned correctly and then return it to its normal position.

Do not cover the oven bottom or an entire oven rack with aluminum foil or place foil directly under a utensil. To catch spillovers,

cut a piece of foil a little larger than the pan and place it on the rack below the utensil.
