When roasting food too large to be placed in
oven with rack in lowest position, place rack
on bottom of oven.
For proper roasting, follow these
guidelines:
l
The rack must be level.
l
Use adequate amount of liquid (meat
juices or water) so food does not get
overdone.
l
Do not try to pull rack out over door.
Rack will be at the same level as door
when door is opened.
Personal Injury Hazard
. Always position oven rack(s) in
desired location before turning oven
on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.
l
If rack(s) must be moved while oven
is hot, use pot holders or oven mitts
to protect hands.
l
Do not place items on the open oven
door.
l
Be careful when installing and remov-
ing large food items from extra oven
rack position. Food will be closer to
hot surfaces, including oven bottom
and sides.
