Oven Racks

Safety Stops

The racks are designed with safety stops and a back rail. When the racks are placed correctly in the oven, they will stop before coming completely out from the oven. They will not tilt when placing food on them.

When placing food on a rack, pull the rack out to the stop position. Place the food on the rack, then slide the rack back into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into a hot oven.

Self-Cleaning the Racks

The racks may be cleaned in the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle; however, they will lose their shiny finish and change to a metallic gray. See Oven Cleaning Chart on Pages 52 and 53.

Rack supports should not be removed.

Rack Levels

Rack levels are numbered from the bottom rack support to the top.

The correct rack level for baking a food item depends on the recipe and the cooking mode. See Baking, Roasting and Broiling Charts on Pages 38 to 40 and Page 46. Place rack(s) in the proper level before turning on the oven.

Insert The Rack As Follows:

1.Hold the rack with the back rail up and towards the back of the oven. Rest the rear of the rack on the desired rack slide.

2.Push the rack into the oven as far as it will go. It will "drop" into position.

3.Pull the rack forward to confirm safety stops are below rack guide.

Remove Or Reposition The Racks As Follows:

1.Slide the rack to the front of the oven.

2.Lift the front of the rack up so the safety stops slide over the rack slides.

3.Pull the rack forward to remove.
