Oven - GE PCB987 Owner's Manual

Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn on the oven.
The number of rack positions may
vary by model.
T he oven has 6 rack pos itions .
It als o has a special low rack
pos ition (R ) for extra large items ,
such as a large turkey.
Extension Racks (on some models)
Extension racks have a frame that locks into the rack supports on
both sides.
Once the frame is locked into place, always pull the rack out, by its
upper front rail, to its full estension 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, read the Assistance and
Accessories section at the beginning of this manual.
To Remove An Extension Rack;
1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the
way into the oven.
2. Firmly holding onto both the upper
and lower front rails, pull the rack
toward you, tilt the front end up and
pull the rack out.
Before you begin...
The racks have stops, so that when placed
correctly on the supports, they will stop
F
before coming completely out and will
E
not tilt.
D

on the oven bottom for cooking.
R

Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom
of the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.

To replace, place the end of the rack
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front
and push the rack in.
CAUTION
When you are using a rack in the lowest
position (A), you will need to use caution
when pulling the rack out. We recommend
that you pull the rack out several inches and
then, using two pot holders, pull the rack
out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low
and you could be burned if you place your
hand in the middle of the rack and pull all
the way out. Be very careful not to burn
your hand on the door when using the rack
in the lowest position (A).
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.
To Replace An Extension Rack;
1. Place the curved end of the rack
onto the rack supports.
2. Tilt the front of rack up and push
the rack in.
If extension racks are difficult to replace
or remove, wipe the oven rack supports
with cooking oil. Do not wipe oil on the
rack slides.
