Oven Racks
Your oven has three racks. HE25 models have 2 flat and
one full extension rack. All others have three flat racks.
They are designed with a stop so they will stop before
coming completely out and not tilt.

Oven Modes and Features
The two sections of the rack are designed to come
apart for easier cleaning. To do so, place rack on flat
surface in the closed position right side up. Rotate one
side of top rack towards you until it is past the stop (ball).
Pull the rack up and out, rotated side first (See Figure 2).
To reassemble rack, hold top rack diagonally across
bottom rack. Insert one side of top rack to closed position.
Rotate the other side toward the back of the rack until it
passes the stop (ball). Push top rack the rest of the way in
(See Figure 3).
If the top rack will not extend fully, it is not installed
correctly. Reinstall it so that the pan stop is in the back of
the oven.
Removing from oven: Grasp rack firmly on both sides
and pull rack toward you. When the stop is reached, tilt
rack up and pull the rest of the way out.
Replacing in oven: Grasp rack firmly on both sides. Tilt
rack up to allow stop into rack holder. Bring rack to a
horizontal position and push the rest of the way in. Rack
should be straight and flat, not crooked.
Note: The full extension rack must be in the closed
position when removing and replacing. Grasp the entire
rack (both sections).
The Full Extension Rack allows for easier access to
cooking foods. The bottom section extends as far as the
standard flat rack. However, the top section extends
beyond the bottom section bringing the food closer to the
user. To order a full extension rack, contact your Siemens
dealer or call Siemens Service: 866-44SIEMENS (447-
4363) for a dealer near you.
Use: First, grasp the bottom section and pull straight out.
Once the stop is reached, grasp the top section and pull
straight out until the second stop is reached.
Cleaning: Clean rack with hot sudsy water. Dry
thoroughly. For stubborn dirt, use a soap filled steel wool
pad. DO NOT clean the rack in the self-cleaning oven.

CAUTION:
To avoid possible burns, place oven racks in desired
positions before turning the oven on. Always use oven
mitts when the oven is warm. If a rack must be moved
while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact hot
heating elements.
Always verify that top rack is installed correctly after
reassembly. The back edges of the top rack must be
under the rack guide on the bottom rack. DO NOT
simply rest the top rack on top of the bottom one.
CAUTION:
