Operating Your Oven - The Basics

Oven Racks

You may use either rack type on any level inside the oven.

warning

To reduce the chance of burns, position the oven racks when the oven is cool. If you must reposition a rack when the oven is hot, use pot holders.

To insert a standard oven rack...

1.Insert the end of the rack with the safety notches into the oven first.

2.Attach both sides of the rack to the rack supports in the oven as shown in the diagram below.

3.Begin to slide the rack in, and then, lift up so that the safety notches clear the ends of the rack supports.

4.Push the rack all the way in with both hands.

To remove a standard oven rack...

•Grasp it with both hands and pull gently straight out toward you until it stops.

•To remove the rack completely, lift the front of the rack up about six inches and continue to pull it out.

Lifting the rack releases the safety notches. The safety notches reduce the chances of a rack coming out of the oven accidentally.

To insert a GlideRack oven rack...

Your oven also comes with Dacor GlideRack oven racks. You can pull a GlideRack oven rack out further than a standard rack and still support heavy pots and pans full of food. It is great for heavier foods and the optional Dacor baking stone.

1.Align both sets of safety clips (right and left) on the back of the rack guides with the oven rack supports as shown below. NOTE: The diagram below shows instal- lation with the rack guides extended but, the rack may be installed with or without the guides extended, whichever is easier.

2.Begin to slide the rack in, lifting the front safety clips over the front of the oven rack supports.

3.Push the rack all the way in.

4.Grasp the rack in the center of the front and pull. The rack should come forward while the guides remain in place.

To remove a GlideRack oven rack...

•Grasp the rack with both hands and pull it gently straight out toward you until it stops.

•Lift up until the front safety clips just clear the front of the rack supports on the oven. Continue to pull out. Moving the end of the rack back and forth slightly, left to right, as you pull, will make it easier to remove.
