Oven Racks

•Placing racks in oven: To insert racks into the oven, hold the rack with the back rail up and 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.

•Removing racks from oven: To remove racks or reposition racks 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 from the oven.

•Place oven racks in desired positions before turn- ing the oven on.

•Oven rack supports should not be removed from the oven.

•CAUTION! Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks or to line the oven. It can cause damage to the oven can liner if heat is trapped under the foil.

Positions

RACK POSITIONS

•Rack positions are numbered from the bottom support guide (#1) to the top (#6). The correct rack position for cooking a food item depends on the recipe and the cooking mode.

•Refer to the cooking recomendations for best rack position.

SELF-CLEANING THE RACKS

•If the racks are left in the oven during Self-Clean, the racks will lose the shiny finish and change to a dull, bluish, metallic gray. See Oven Care and Cleaning Recommendations on Page 31.

MULTIPLE RACK COOKING AND BAKING

•Now you can cook a complete meal using mul- tiple racks without flavor exchange from different foods.

•Check that cooking or baking temperatures are the same when cooking different foods at the same time.

•Two racks can be used at one time during BAKE mode, such as when baking a batch of cookies.

•Three racks or more can be used with convection mode.

CAUTION

Always insert racks with pan stops toward the back of the oven and facing up. If inserted incor- rectly, the rack could slide all the way out of the oven causing injury and/or burns.
