Types of Oven Racks
Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack types shown; a Porcelain coated Flat Handle Oven Rack
(Fig. 3) or an Porcelain coated Offset Oven Rack (Fig. 4). The Offset Oven Rack is best when used in oven rack
positions 5 or 6 but may be used in any oven rack postions.
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located below the backguard (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on,
warm air is released through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK THE VENT.
Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and
may cause burns.

To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack
upward and slide the rack back into place.This range has a total of 6 oven rack
postions.
