OVEN USE
IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil,
liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the
oven bottom finish.
• Do not block or cover the oven bottom vents.
• Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to
move freely for best cooking results.
• To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.
IMPORTANT: Never place food or bakeware directly on the oven
door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain
finish.
RACKS
Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not move racks
with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level. To move e
rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift
out. Use the following illustration and chart as a guide..

Rack with Integrated Handle
The integrated handle area makes pulling out the rack easy. The
opening is large enough for a potholder or oven mitt.
Haft-Rack wit_ Removable Insert
The half-rack with removable inserL is a space maximizer. When
the two are attached, they make a full rack. The insert can also be
used on the counter for a cooling rack.
Do not place more than 25 pounds on the half-rack.
To Position Racks:
1. Place a full rack on position 1 or 2, and the half-rack on
position 3 or 4.
2. Place large items on the right side of the full rack.
3. Place deeper, covered dishes on the left side of the full rack.
4. Place shallow dishes on the half-rack.
5. When finished cooking, carefully remove items.
