STURDIGLIDE
TM
Mate Rack
The STURDIGLIDE Mate Rack is designed especially for your
broiler or roasting pan. This rack is elevated on each side, and
has a unique shallow basin-shaped depression in the center,
allowing for easier removal of your broil or roasting pan from the
oven.
The broiler pan can be placed on the STURDIGLIDE Mate Rack
and placed below food that may spill over during cooking.
To Use:
1. When using the broiler pan, remove broiling rack.
2. Place broiler pan directly on the STURDIGLIDE Mate Rack.
3. Preheat the oven with broiler pan in place.
Food can be placed on a rack above the pan, or directly on the
pan during cooking. Use the following chart as a guide when
cooking foods using the STURDIGLIDE Mate Rack.

1. Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air
circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set
plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the
oven vent.
ULTRABAKE
TM
Temperature Management System
The ULTRABAKE system electronically regulates the oven heat
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature
range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements
cycle on and off in intervals. This feature is automatically
activated when the oven is in use.
To Bake or Roast:
Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless recommended in the recipe.
1. Press BAKE.
Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pad to enter a
temperature other than 350°F (177°C). The bake range can be
set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
