Split-Rack with Removable Insert

The split-rack with removable insert is a space maximizer. When the two are attached, they make a full rack. The insert can also be removed to provide room for large items such as a turkey and casseroles. Do not place more than 25 lbs (11.3 kg) on the split- rack.

The insert can also be used on the counter as a cooling rack.

To Use Racks:

1.Place a full rack in the lower section of the oven and position the split-rack above it.

2.Place large items on the right side of the full rack.

3.Place deeper, covered dishes on the left side of the full rack.

4.Place shallow dishes on the split-rack.

5.When finished cooking, slowly remove items.

OvenVent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
