BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

ARRANGING OVEN RACKS

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.

To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

AIR CIRCULATION IN THE OVEN

If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, stagger cookware as shown.

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.

Single Oven Rack

Multiple Oven Racks

NOTE

Always use caution when removing food from the oven.

Oven vents location

The upper and lower ovens are vented at the back of the cooktop. When an oven is on, warm air is released through its vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENTS. Never close off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material.

TYPES OF OVEN RACKS

Your built-in range may be equipped with one or more of the oven racks styles shown;

•Flat handle oven rack.

CAUTION

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.

The Flat Oven Handle Rack (Figure 1) has a handle to facilitate the sliding of the rack when large amount of foods weight on it.

The Offset Oven Rack (Figure 2) is used to maximize cooking space. The offset rack can be used in the lowest rack position to roast large cuts of meat and poultry or for specific type of cooking.
