USING THE
Oven Racks
Your oven may have extension racks and/or traditional flat racks.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Extension Racks
Extension racks have a frame that locks into the rack supports on both sides. Once the frame is locked into place, always pull the rack out, by its upper front rail, to its full extension stop position, when placing or removing cookware.
If extension racks are difficult to extend, lubricate the racks with the graphite lubricant provided with your oven. Remove the rack from the oven, remove debris in the slide tracks with a paper towel, shake the graphite lubricant and place 4 small drops on the two bottom tracks of the left and right sides. Open and close the rack several times to distribute the lubricant.
To order additional graphite lubricant, read the Assistance and Accessories section at the beginning of this manual.
To Remove An Extension Rack:
1.Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the oven.
2.Grasp the rack by both its upper front rail and its lower front rail and lift straight up to unlock the front rack locks from the rack supports.
3.Firmly holding onto both the upper and lower front rails, pull the rack forward and remove it from the oven.
To Replace An Extension Rack:
1.Place the rear rack locks over and onto the rack supports.
2.Slide the rack all the way in until the rear rack locks are secure on the rear rack supports and press the front rack locks onto the front rack supports.
