BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Types of oven racks

Your range may be equipped with one or more of the following oven rack types listed below:

The flat oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most rack positions.

The flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs. May be placed in most rack positions. Similar to the flat oven rack but comes with a built-in handle.

The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design. The offset design positions the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in most oven rack positions.

The half rack (some models) has a removable section to allow for taller cooking utensils in the oven. When the removable section is in place, the rack may be used like the flat oven rack.

The Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) instructions are provided later in this section.

The bottom oven rack (if equipped) should only be used in the lowest oven rack position. To maximize oven space, place cookware on the bottom oven rack for example when roasting large cuts of meat. Do not use the bottom oven rack in any other oven rack position.

Air circulation in the oven

For best baking results allow 2 to 4 inches (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. For even heating, hot air must be able to circulate freely around the pans and cookware (See Fig. 1).

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack in positions 2 & 5. For best results when using a single or an offset oven rack, place cookware on rack in position 2, 3 or 4.
