Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR
TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
Recommended Rack Positions for Broiling, Baking & Roasting:
Food
Broiling hamburgers & steaks
Broiling meats, chicken or fish
Cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits & muffins
Frozen pies, angel food cake, yeast, bread, casseroles,
small cuts of meat or poultry
Turkey, roast or ham (use Roasting Shelf rack)
Types of Oven Racks & Roasting Shelf
Your range may be equipped with one or more of
the oven rack types shown; Flat Oven Rack
(Fig. 5) and Roasting Shelf (Fig. 6; some
models). To maximize cooking space the
Roasting Shelf should be used in the lowest rack
position to roast large cuts of meat and poultry
(See Fig. 2).
Place Roasting Shelf with care (some models; See Fig. 2). Be sure the Roasting Shelf is level and the front end of the
shelf rests over the front ends of the oven rack glides on both sides of the oven interior (See Figs. 3 & 4).
Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 7). For best
results when using a single oven Flat Rack, place cookware on rack position 3 or 4 (See Fig.8).
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking
results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the cookware for proper air
circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other,
the oven door, sides or back of the
oven cavity. The hot air must be able
to circulate around the pans and
cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.

Before Setting Oven Controls

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.
Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.
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.
