Oven Racks
CAUTION: Do not attempt to
change the rack position when the
oven is hot.
Your oven has
two racks. They
are designed
with a lock-stop
edge.
To remove: Pull
rack straight out
until it stops at the lock-stop position; lift
up on the front of the rack and pull out.
To replace: Place rack on the rack support
in the oven; tilt the front end up slightly;
slide rack back until it clears the lock-stop
position; lower front and slide back into
the oven.
Do not cover an entire rack with alumi-
num foil or place foil on the oven bottom.
Baking results will be affected and dam-
age may occur to the oven bottom.
