The Fiat Half Rack has a removable insert that can provide extra space for larger food items. The right half rack portion may still be used for other food items like a casserole dish (See Fig. 5). To remove the insert, squeeze on the left front insert side (See Fig. 4) of the rack and tilt out clockwise. To reinstall insert rear hooks at back of insert (See 1-Fig. 5) and lay insert down. Make sure both insert front hooks snap into rack (See 2-Fig. 5).

Do not use cookware that extends beyond the edge of the Flat Half Rack. For best results, allow 2 inches between the pan placed on the rack and oven side or rear walls.

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 (Flat Handle Oven Rack) & 5 with the Offset Oven Rack (See Fig. 6). For best results when using a single oven rack, place cookware on rack position 4 (See Fig. 7).

Air Circulation in the Oven

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 be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
