USING THE OVEN

• For best results allow 2 inches of space around

The integrated handle area makes pulling out the STURDIGLIDE rack simple. The opening is large enough for a potholder or oven mitt.

The STURDIGLIDE TM HALF-P,ACK with removable

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.

Rack placement for specific foods:

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.
