Oven Racks

CAUTION:
Do not attempt to change the
rack position when the oven is
hot.
Your oven has two racks. They are de-
signed with a lock-stop edge.
TO REMOVE: Pull rack straight out
until it stops at the lock-stop position;
lift up on the front of the rack and pull
out.
TO REPLACE: Place rack on the rack
support in the oven; tilt the front end up
slightly; slide rack back until it clears
the lock-stop position; lower front and
slide back into the oven.
Do not cover an entire rack with alu-
minum foil or place foil on the oven
bottom. Baking results will be af-
fected and damage may occur to
the oven bottom.
