Oven Racks; Selecting The Rack Position; Using Multiple Racks - Bosch 5000 Series Use And Care Manual

General Oven Tips
Oven Racks
• The oven has rack guides at four levels as shown in
the illustration on page 7
Rack positions are numbered from the bottom rack
guide (#i) to the top (#4).
Check cooking charts for best rack positions to use
when cooking.
Make sure that the racks are level once they are in
position.
• The racks are designed to stop when pulled
forward to their limit.
CAUTION! Never use aluminum foil to cover the
oven racks or to line the oven. Heat trapped under
the foil can cause damage to the oven liner.
CAUTION: To avoid possible burns,
place oven racks in desired positions before turning
the oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is
warm.
Removing from oven: Grasp rack firmly on both sides
and pull rack toward you. When the stop is reached,
tilt rack up and pull the rest of the way out.
Replacing in oven: Grasp rack firmly on both sides.
Tilt rack up to allow stop into rack holder. Bring rack to
a horizontal position and press the rest of the way in.
Rack should be straight and fiat, not crooked.

When baking four cake layers at the same time,
stagger pans so that one pan is not directly above

rack and back of lower rack (See graphic at right).
