Always use pot holders or oven mitts when

using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and

exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot

which can cause burns.

Arranging - always arrange

the oven racks when the oven

is cool (prior to operating the

oven).

To remove - pull the rack

forward until it stops. Lift up

front of rack and slide out.

To replace - fit oven rack

onto the rack guides on both

sides of oven walls. Tilt the

front of oven rack upward

and slide the rack back into

place. Be sure oven racks are

level before using.

Types of oven racks

Air circulation in the oven

For best standard baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm)

around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure

pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven

door, sides or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able

to circulate around the cookware in the oven for even heat

to reach around the food (Fig. 3 ).

Fig. 2

The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack

(some models) may be used for most cooking needs. The

offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place the

base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than

flat oven racks. This design provides several additional

possible positions between the flat rack positions. To

maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack

(on some models) in the lowest rack position for roasting

large cuts of meat.

panel (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air passes

through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air

circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not

block oven vent.

Protective Liners — DO NOT USE

ALUMINUM FOIL to line the oven bottom.

Only use

aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper

installation of these liners may result in risk of electric

shock, or fire.

Baking layer cakes and cookies with 1 or 2

oven racks

For best standard baking results when baking cakes or

cookies using a single oven rack, place cookware on rack

position 3 or 4 (See Fig. 2). For best results using 2 oven

racks, place cookware on rack positions 3 and 6 (offset

rack, if supplied, is recommended for position 6). See

Convection Bake instructions for best convection rack

positions .
