Types of Oven Rack
Figure 1: Oven rack types
• Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack)
may be used for most cooking needs and may
be placed in most oven rack positions.
• The fully extendable glide rack makes food
preparation easier. This oven rack has glide
tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away
from the oven without rubbing the sides of the
oven wall.

Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Flat
or Offset Oven Racks
Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is
cool.
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward un-
til it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven
rack slightly and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides
on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven
rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back
into place. Be sure oven racks are level before us-
ing.
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is
on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is
necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close o
the openings with aluminium foil or any other material.
Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This
is normal.

CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven
exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become
very hot which can cause burns.
Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean
cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during
a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven
racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks
will lose their shiny finish.
To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not
attempt to close the oven door until all the oven
racks are fully positioned back inside the oven
cavity.
WARNING
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil
or any other material or liners to line the oven
bottom, walls, racks or any other part of the
oven. Doing so will alter the heat distribution,
produce poor baking results, and possibly cause
permanent damage to the oven interior. Improp-
er installation of these liners may result in risk of
electric shock or fire. During self clean, tempera-
tures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
IMPORTANT
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any
other parts of the range with aluminum foil. Do-
ing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor
baking results and may cause permanent damage
to the oven interior. During self-clean tempera-
tures the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
