Oven Racks and Rack Positions (cont.)
Traditional Flat Racks
The racks have stops so that when placed correctly on
the supports they will stop before coming completely out
and will not tilt. When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out until it stops.
To Remove a Rack
Pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To Replace a Rack
Tilt the front of the rack up, hook the rear locating posts
under the rack supports, push the rack back (past the
stop-locks) and lower it into position. Push the rack all
the way in.
If flat racks are difficult to slide and/or remove, place
some cooking oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub
onto the sides of the rack and each rack support.
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
items on the oven floor. There is a heating element beneath the oven floor. Placing items on the oven floor
may cause the oven to overheat, resulting in damage to the oven and risk of damage or fire to cabinets.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the
oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil 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.

Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily
than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more
readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier
than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature by 25º F next time.
12
Use caution when removing a rack from lowest position as door may be hot.
Never place cooking utensils, aluminum foil, pizza or baking stones, or any other
Post
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies
and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom
browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
