USING THE OVEN

$TURDIGLIDETM ovenrack with integratedhandle

The integrated handle area makes pulling out the

STURDIGLIDE rack simple. The opening is large enough for a potholder or oven mitt.

STURDtGLtDEHALF-RACKwith removableinsert

The STURDIGLIDE TMHALF-RACK with removeable

insert is a space maximizer. When attached, they make a full rack. The insert can also be used on

the counter for a cooling rack.

Position a full rack on guide 1 or 2 and the half- rack on guide 3 or 4. On the full rack place large items on right side and deeper, covered dishes on left side. Place shallow dishes on the half-rack. It may be necessary to increase cooking time. At the end of cooking, carefully remove items from the oven.

For best results allow 2 inches of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls. Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.

E×t aove r ck p0 itio (roasti g'eck)

For proper roasting, follow these guidelines:

To avoid spillage, remove food before

pulling out the rack.

Tilt the rack up at the

front before pulling it

Positioningracksandpans

Place the STURDIGLIDE racks where you need them before turning on the oven.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge and lift it out.

Be sure the rack(s) is level.

Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.

For best performance, cook on one rack. Place

the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at approximately three quarters of the total bake
