Oven Rack Positions

NOTE: Opening the oven door will cause heat loss, longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking or roasting results. Rely on your timer.

Oven Rack Positions

Your oven has five rack positions. Rack position 1 is the lowest position, or closest to the bottom of the oven. Rack position 5 is the highest position, or farthest from the bottom of the oven.

There are three straight racks. Be sure to position the oven rack(s) before putting food into the oven or turning the oven on.

To remove oven racks:

Lift rack at front and pull out.

To replace oven racks:

1.Place rear of rack on rack guides.

2.While lifting front of rack, push in all the way. Lower front.

For Proper Cooking,

Follow These Guidelines:

When using one rack, place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

When using two racks, place racks in positions 3 and 1 (the closest to the oven bottom).

Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time when using the regular Bake setting.
