5.Gliding Oven Racks

Your Thermador range includes three extendable, gliding racks that can be pulled out and pushed back into the oven with minimum effort - even while supporting a large turkey or roast. If yours is a 48" model, the secondary oven of your range also has two gliding racks.

•Placing Racks in Oven:

To insert a rack into the oven, hold the rack with the back rail up toward the back. Place the safety hooks under the front of the rail guides. Push the rack into the oven, lifting the rack stops over the front of the rail guides. Slide the rack into position.

When placing food on a rack, pull the rack out to the stop position. The racks are designed to lock and not tilt while in fully-extended position.

•Removing Racks from Oven:

To remove or reposition a rack in the oven, pull the rack toward the front of the oven. Lift up the front of the rack over the safety stops and pull the rack from the oven.

•Place oven racks in desired positions before turning on the oven.

IMPORTANT:

When placing the gliding rack in the oven, make sure the front supports on the rack guides rest in the large slots at the front corners of the rack, as shown. This is necessary to keep the rack in the correct position while fully inserted into the oven.

6.Ensure that the burner caps are correctly seated on the burner bases of the range's cooktop. Turn on each burner to check for proper flame color. See page 14 for details.

CAUTION:

Aluminum foil should never be used to cover the oven racks or to line the oven. Do not remove the infrared burner in the gas oven.

Note:

It is normal for the cooling process to push heated air out into the room when the oven is on.

Before baking or broiling, the oven and broiler should be turned on to burn off the manufacturing oils. Turn the oven on to 450°F (230°C) for 20 to 30 minutes; then turn the broiler to "BROIL” for same length of time. You may wish to turn on the ventilator above your range during this time. Please note that it is normal for small amounts of smoke to be visible from the range, during this initial breaking-in process.

Please read “Care and Maintenance” on page 28 before cleaning the oven racks.
