IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish,
do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Racks
Position racks before turning on the oven.
Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
Make sure racks are level.
The upper oven is equipped with 1 flat rack.
The lower oven is equipped with 2 flat racks.
Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at
least ½" (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil burner.

Flat Racks: Pull rack out to the stop position, raise the front edge,
and then lift out.
