Oven racks
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.
To avoid possible burns, place the
racks in the desired position before
you turn the oven on.
Removing
and
racks
When placing and removing cookwa-
re, pull the rack out to the bump
(stop position) on the rack support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you
until it reaches the stop position, tilt
up the front of the rack and pull it
out.
To replace a rack, place the curved
end of the rack onto the rack
supports. Tilt up the front of the rack
and push the rack in until it stops.
Then lay the rack flat and push it in
until iti s all the way into the oven.
Racks may become difficult to slide,
especially after a selfclean cycle. To
improve sliding conditions, use a soft
cloth or paper towel to rub vegetable
oil on the left and right edges of the
racks and/or rack supports.
NOTE: Remove unused racks when
using the oven for faster preheat,
improved efficiency and optimal
cooking performance.
See the Assistance/Accessories section
for instructions on ordering additio-
nal racks.
