Oven Racks
12
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.
Oven 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.
Extension Racks
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, see the
Accessories and Consumer Support sections
at the end of this manual.
To Remove An Extension Rack:
1. 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.
