Removing and replacing flat or offset
oven racks
• To remove - pull the oven rack straight forward
until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of
oven rack slightly and slide out.
• To replace - place the oven rack on the rack
guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack
upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into
place.
CAUTION
Oven racks
Air circulation in the oven
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space
of 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) around the cookware for
proper air circulation. Be sure pans and cookware
do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around cookware
for even heat to reach the food.
Types of oven racks

Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food or adjusting the oven racks. Wait
until the oven has completely cooled if possible.
Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.
Offset oven rack
(some models)
Fig. 3
Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking
needs and may be placed in most oven rack
positions.
The offset oven rack (some models, see Figure 3)
provides additional stepdown positions from the
standard flat rack design. The offset design
positions the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack
position lower than the flat rack and may be used in
most oven rack positions.
The fully extendable Luxury-Glide™ oven rack
(see Figure 4) allows you to effortlessly extend your
food away from the oven. See Removing and
Replacing the Luxury-Glide™ Oven Racks for
instructions.
