USING THE OVEN
OVEN RACKS
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.
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.
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 lower
front rail and lift straight up to unlock the rack from the
rack supports.

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
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 vegetable oil. Do not wipe oil
on the rack slides.
NOTE: Using other cooking oils will cause a discoloring or
a rust like color residue on the racks and cavity sides. To
clean this residue, use a soap and water or a vinegar and
water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft
cloth.
