Racks - GE PT7800 Owner's Manual

Racks

Your oven has six rack positions. Recommended rack
positions for various types of foods are provided in the
Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to
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 at least 1½" between pans to allow
sufficient space for air to flow.
Oven Racks
Your oven may have extension racks and/or traditional
flat racks.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired
position before you turn the oven on.
Extension Racks
Extension racks have an install feature that locks into the
rack supports (guides) on both sides. Once the install
feature is locked into place, always pull the rack out,
by its upper front rail, to its full extension stop position,
when placing or removing cookware.
If extension racks are difficult to extend, lubricate the
racks with the graphite lubricant provided with your
oven. Remove the rack from the oven, remove debris in
the slide tracks with a paper towel, shake the graphite
lubricant and place 4 small drops on the two bottom
tracks of the left and right sides. Open and close the
rack several times to distribute the lubricant.
To order additional graphite lubricant, see the
Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end
of this manual.
To Remove An Extension Rack:
1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the oven.
2. Grasp the rack by both its upper front rail and its
lower handles on two sides and lift straight up to
unlock the rack from the rack supports.
handles on both sides, pull the rack forward. Grasp
the rack on both sides if necessary. Then remove it
from the oven.
To Replace An Extension Rack:
1. Place the rear portion of the rack onto the rack
supports (guides) as shown in the picture.
2. Hold the upper front rail and lower handles and push
the rack all the way in until the install feature locks
into the front rack support.
If extension racks are difficult to replace or remove, wipe
the oven rack supports with vegetable oil. Do not wipe oil
on the rack slides.
NOTE: Using other cooking oils will cause a discoloring
or a rust like color residue on the racks and cavity sides.
To clean this residue, use a soap and water or a vinegar
and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth.
