GENERAL TIPS
• Placing racks in oven: To insert racks into the oven,
hold the rack with the back rail up and toward the
back. Place the safety hooks under the front of the
rail guides. Push the rack into the oven, lifting the
rack stops over the front of the rail guides. Slide the
rack into position.
• Removing racks from oven: To remove racks or
reposition racks in the oven, pull the rack toward the
front of the oven. Lift up the front of the rack over
the safety stops and pull from the oven.
• Place oven racks in desired positions before turning
the oven on.
• Oven rack supports should not be removed from the
oven.
• CAUTION! Never use aluminum foil to cover the
oven racks or to line the oven. It can cause damage
to the oven if heat is trapped under the foil.
• When placing food on a rack, pull the rack out to the
stop position. The racks are designed to lock and not
tilt when pulled forward.

SELF CLEANING THE RACKS

• If the racks are left in the oven during Self Clean, the
racks will lose the shiny finish. See Oven Care and
Cleaning Recommendations on Page 51.
Extendable Rack
• The Extendable Rack (some models) must be removed
before starting the Self Clean mode.
