3. Pull the rack and the sliding shelf out.
To Replace Roll-Out Extension Rack:
1. Using 2 hands, grasp the front of the closed rack and the
sliding shelf. Place the closed rack and the sliding shelf on the
rack guide.
2. Using 2 hands, lift up on the front edge of the rack and the
sliding shelf together.
3. Slowly push the rack and the sliding shelf to the back of the
oven until the back edge of the rack pulls over the end of the
rack guide.
To avoid damage to the sliding shelves, do not place more than
25 lbs (11.4 kg) on the rack.
Do not clean the roll-out extension rack in a dishwasher. It may
remove the rack’s lubricant and affect its ability to slide.
See the “General Cleaning” section from Owner's Manual for
more information.
Bakeware
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow
manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.
BAKEWARE/RESULTS RECOMMENDATIONS
Light-colored aluminum
■ Light golden crusts
■ Even browning
■ Use temperature and time
recommended in recipe.
Dark aluminum and other
bakeware with dark, dull
and/or nonstick finish
■ Brown, crisp crusts
■ May need to reduce baking
temperatures slightly.
■ Use suggested baking
time.
■ For pies, breads, and
casseroles, use
temperature
recommended in recipe.
■ Place rack in center of
oven.
Insulated cookie sheets or
baking pans
■ Little or no bottom
browning
■ Follow rack
recommendations in the
“Position Racks and
Bakeware” section.
■ May need to increase
baking time.
Stainless steel
■ Light, golden crusts
■ Uneven browning
■ May need to increase
baking time.
Stoneware/Baking stone
■ Crisp crusts
■ Follow manufacturer’s
instructions.
Ovenproof glassware or
ceramic

Oven Vents
A. Control panel
B. Oven vent
C. Upper oven
D. Oven vent
E. Lower oven
F. Bottom vent
The oven vents should not be blocked or covered since they allow
the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system and allows the venting
of heated air. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air
circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning, and cooling results.
Preheating and Oven Temperature
Preheating
When beginning a Bake or Convect Bake cycle, the oven begins
preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately
12 to 18 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks
provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher
temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly
increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will
go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your
oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you
place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper
temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do
not open the door during preheat until the tone sounds.
NOTE: If the cook timer is set and the oven door is opened during
preheating, the timer will automatically start.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to
maintain a consistent temperature. They may run slightly hot or
cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door
while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could
impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to
use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
