FOOD | RACK POSITION |
Placethe STURDIGLIDE rackswhere 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 time. Increase baking time, if necessary.
