Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and
exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot
which can cause burns.
Arranging - always arrange
the oven racks when the oven is
cool (prior to operating the
oven).
To remove - pull the rack
forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out.
To replace - fit oven rack onto
the rack guides on both sides
of oven walls. Tilt the front of
oven rack upward and slide the
rack back into place. Be sure
oven racks are level before
using.

Types of oven racks
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (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. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the cookware in the oven for even heat to reach
around the food (See Fig. 3 ).

The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack
(some models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower
than flat oven racks. This design provides several additional
possible positions between the flat rack positions.
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located below the control panel (Fig. 1).
When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This
venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven
and good baking results.

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes or cookies using 2 oven
racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 and 4. For best
results when baking cakes or cookies using a single oven
rack, place cookware on rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 (See
Fig. 2).
DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom
or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing
so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking
results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior.
Aluminum foil will melt to the interior of the oven.
