Oven Racks

Rack Positions
Your oven has two rack positions in the upper oven
of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting
rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For
example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes,
muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position
higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving
them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow
air to flow. This may improve cooking evenness.
Removing and Replacing Flat Racks
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out
to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the
stop position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.
To replace a rack, place the curved end of the rack onto
the rack supports. Tilt up the front of the rack and push
the rack in until it stops. Then lay the rack flat and push
it in until it is all the way into the oven.

Extension Racks (on some models)
Extension racks have a frame that locks into the rack
supports on both sides. Once the frame is locked into place,

Oven Air Vents

Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They
provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the
range to keep cool and operate properly with correct
combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at
the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom
of the range.
