Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
CAUTION
Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat
or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of
these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more
to prevent poor heat circulation.
Oven Racks
Rack Positions
Your oven has 6 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
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. This may improve cooking
evenness. To avoid possible burns, place the racks in
the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air for the inlet and outlet that are necessary for
the range to keep cool and operate properly. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop.

Flat Racks
When placing and removing cookware, 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 it is all the way into the oven.
Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a
self-clean cycle. To improve sliding conditions, use a soft
cloth or paper towel to rub vegetable oil on the left and
other cooking oils like peanut oil, Pam
sprays, since this can cause a discoloring or a rust like
color residue on the racks and cavity sides.
NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven
for faster preheat, improved efficiency and optimal
cooking performance. See the Accessories section for
instructions on ordering additional racks.
