CAUTION:
To avoid possible burns, place oven racks in desired positions before turning the oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact hot heating elements.
Removing from oven: Grasp rack firmly on both sides and pull rack toward you. When the stop is reached, tilt rack up and pull the rest of the way out.
Replacing in oven: Grasp rack firmly on both sides. Tilt rack up to allow stop into rack holder. Bring rack to a horizontal position and push the rest of the way in. Rack should be straight and flat, not crooked.
Note: The full extension rack must be in the closed position when removing and replacing. Grasp the entire rack (both sections).
The Full Extension Rack allows for easier access to cooking foods. The bottom section extends as far as the standard flat rack. However, the top section extends beyond the bottom section bringing the food closer to the user. To order a full extension rack, contact your Siemens dealer or call Siemens Service:
Use: First, grasp the bottom section and pull straight out. Once the stop is reached, grasp the top section and pull straight out until the second stop is reached.
Cleaning: Clean rack with hot sudsy water. Dry thoroughly. For stubborn dirt, use a soap filled steel wool pad. DO NOT clean the rack in the
The two sections of the rack are designed to come apart for easier cleaning. To do so, place rack on flat surface in the closed position right side up. Rotate one side of top rack towards you until it is past the stop (ball). Pull the rack up and out, rotated side first (See Figure 2). To reassemble rack, hold top rack diagonally across bottom rack. Insert one side of top rack to closed position. Rotate the other side toward the back of the rack until it passes the stop (ball). Push top rack the rest of the way in (See Figure 3).
If the top rack will not extend fully, it is not installed correctly. Reinstall it so that the pan stop is in the back of the oven.
