Oven Racks
Rack Positions
Your oven has four rack positions in the main oven.
Recommended rack positions for various types of
foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting
the rack position is one way to impact cooking results.
For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes,
muffins or cookies, try moving food one rack position
higher. If you find foods are too brown on top, try moving
them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow
air to flow. This may improve cooking evenness.
Removing and Replacing Flat Racks
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out
to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the
stop position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.
To replace a rack, place the curved end of the rack onto
the rack supports. Tilt up the front of the rack and push
the rack in until it stops. Then lay the rack flat and push
it in until it is all the way into the oven.
Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a
self-clean cycle. To improve sliding conditions, use a soft
cloth or paper towel to rub vegetable oil on the left and
right edges of the racks and/or rack supports.
NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven for
faster preheat, improved efficiency, and optimal cooking
performance.
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They
provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the
range to keep cool and operate properly with correct
combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at
the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom
of the range.
Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
CAUTION
Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat
or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of
these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more
foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls
to prevent poor heat circulation.
