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 Space Wise® half oven 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 (some models) 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 and
baking results, hot air must be able to circulate freely
around the cookware (Fig. 1).
