Whirlpool W10017570 manual Split Oven Rack, Aluminum Foil, Bakeware

BAKEWARE

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide.

NUMBER OF	POSITION ON RACK
PAN(S)
1	Center of rack.
2	Side by side or slightly staggered.
3 or 4	Opposite corners on each rack. Make sure
	that no bakeware piece is directly over
	another.

Split Oven Rack

(on some models)

Split-Rack with Removable Insert

The split-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. Do not place more than 25 lbs (11.3 kg) on the split- rack.

The insert can also be used on the counter for a cooling rack.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the oven bottom finish.

■On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover the oven bottom vents.

■Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely for best cooking results.

■To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

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.
