items. The right half rack portion may still be used for other food items like a casserole dish (See Figure 3). To remove the insert, squeeze on the left front insert side (See Figure 4) of the rack and tilt out clockwise. To reinstall insert rear hooks at back of insert (See Figure 5) and lay insert down.

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and 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. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
