Oven Use; Oven Racks; Rack Positions - Kenmore 30-inch electric wall ovens Owner's Manual

Thetwoovenracksaredesigned with
a safety lock-stop
position to keep the racks from accidently coming
completely out of the oven when pulling the rack out to add or
remove food.
I CAUTION" D° n°t attempt t° charlge the rack P°siti°ns Iwhen the oven is hot.
To remove: Be sure the rack is cool. Pull the rack straight out
until it stops at the lock-stop position. Tilt the front end of the
rack up and continue pulling the rack out of the oven.
To replace: Place the rack on the rack supports and tilt the
front end of the rack up slightly. Slide it back until it clears the
lock-stop position. Lower the front and slide the rack straight
in. Pull the rack out to the lock-stop position to be sure it is
positioned correctly and then return it to its normal position.
It is important that aircan circulate freely within the oven and
around the food. To help ensure this, place food on the
center of the oven rack. Allow two inches between the edge
of the utensil(s) and the oven walls.
For optimum baking results of cakes, cookies or biscuits,
use one rack. Position the rack so the food is in the center of
the oven. Use either rack position 2 or 3.
If cooking on more than one rack, stagger the food to ensure
proper air flow.
If cooking on two racks, use rack positions 2 and 4 for cakes
and rack positions 1 and 4 when using cookie sheets. Never
place two cookie sheets on one rack.
If roasting a large turkey, place the turkey on rack 1 and the
side dishes on rack 5.
