Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or
bottom.
Racks
■ Position racks before turning on the oven.
■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
■ Make sure racks are level.
■ The upper oven is equipped with 1 flat rack.
■ The lower oven is equipped with 2 flat racks.
■ Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at
least ½" (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil burner.
To Remove Oven Racks:
Flat Racks: Pull rack out to the stop position, raise the front edge,
and then lift out.
To Replace Oven Racks:
Flat Rack: Place rack on the rack support in the oven. Tilt the
front edge up slightly, and slide rack back until it clears the stop
position. Lower front and slide back into the oven.
