5. THERMADOR® Full Access™ Gliding oven racks
are standard on all models. Each gliding oven rack
can be pulled out and pushed back into the oven with
minimal effort — even while supporting a large turkey
or roast.
IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS remove the gliding oven racks before self-
cleaning the oven. If the gliding racks remain in the oven
during Self-Clean, lubricants in the glide mechanisms of
each rack will be lost and the finish will discolor.
WARNING:
To help prevent burns, NEVER remove or
reposition the oven racks while the oven is
ON or while the oven is cooling.
Always remove
before Self Clean

IMPORTANT:
When placing the gliding rack in the oven, make sure the
front supports on the rack guides rest in the large slots at
the front corners of the rack, as shown. This is necessary to
keep the rack in the correct position while fully inserted into
the oven.
CAUTION:
Aluminum foil should NEVER be used to cover
the oven racks or to line the oven. DO NOT
remove the broiler element in the electric oven.

proper flame color. See "Flame Description" on
page 25 for details.

It is normal for the cooling process to push heated air out
