the shelf support guides onto the
support guides located on each side
of the oven in the rear.
Next, lower the front until the shelf

When properly positioned, the
shelf should fit snugly in place.

not touch the back wall of the oven.

shelf to cook more than one food
at the same time, turn the oven
off. Make sure the shelf is
positioned right-side-up on all
