Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that
when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they
will stop before coming completely out from the
oven, and will not tilt when removing food from
or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the "stop" position. Place the cookware on the
shelf, then slide the shelf back into the o~en. This will
eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

remove the shelf from the oven, pull it forward to
stop-locks and lift the front of the shelf. Be certain
that the shelf is cool before touching it.
To
replace the shelf in the oven, tilt the shelf up at
the front and slide the curved extension of the shelf
under the stop-locks on the shelf supports. Then slide
the shelf all the way into the oven.
