BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Types of oven racks
Fig. 1
Your range may be equipped with one or more of the
following oven rack types listed below:
The flat oven rack (some models) may be used for most
cooking needs and may be placed in most rack positions.
The flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used
for most cooking needs. May be placed in most rack
positions. Similar to the flat oven rack but comes with a
built-in handle.
The offset oven rack (some models) 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 half rack (some models) has a removable section to
allow for taller cooking utensils in the oven. When the
removable section is in place, the rack may be used like
the flat oven rack.
The Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) instructions
are provided later in this section.
The bottom oven rack (if equipped) should only be used
in the lowest oven rack position. To maximize oven space,
place cookware on the bottom oven rack for example
when roasting large cuts of meat. Do not use the bottom
oven rack in any other oven rack position.

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack in positions 2 & 5. For best results
when using a single or an offset oven rack, place
cookware on rack in position 2, 3 or 4.
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2 to 4 inches (5-10 cm)
around the cookware for proper air circulation and be
sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the
oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. For even
heating, hot air must be able to circulate freely around the
pans and cookware (See Fig. 1).
