Oven Racks And Rack Positions - GE PK7000 Owner's Manual

Oven Racks and Rack Positions
Your oven has six rack positions. Recommended rack
positions for various types of foods are provided in the
Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to
impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer
darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving
food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too
brown on top try moving them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow
sufficient space for air to flow.

Racks
Your oven may have extension racks and/or traditional
flat racks.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired
position before you turn the oven on.
ExtensionRacks
Extension racks have an install feature that locks into the
rack supports (guides) on both sides. Once the install
feature is locked into place, always pull the rack out,
by its upper front rail, to its full extension 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:
,
Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the
oven.
2. Grasp the rack by both its upper front rail and its
lower handles on two sides and lift straight up to
unlock the rack from the rack supports.
3. Firmly holding onto both the upper front rail and lower
handles on both sides, pull the rack forward. Grasp the
rack on both sides if necessary. Then remove it from
the oven.
To Replace An Extension Rack:
1. Place the rear portion of the rack onto the rack
supports (guides) as shown in the picture.
2. Hold the upper front rail and lower handles and push
the rack all the way in until the install feature locks
into the front rack support.
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.
Hold the upper front rail and lower
handles and push the rack all the
way in until the install feature locks
