POSITIONING THE OVEN RACKS
The oven racks are removable and can be positioned in
any of the seven oven rack positions. Each oven rack
has a built-in stop to prevent it from accidentally being
pulled completely out. Proper positioning of the oven
racks will provide the best cooking results. The diagram
to the right shows the rack positions.
• Do not place aluminum foil on the oven bottom
because it could cause damage.
• Do not cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation, resulting in poor baking. Foil may be used to catch spills by placing
a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food.
• Arrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.
• When placing an oven rack in the topmost rack position (position 7), make sure
the rack is stably situated on the embossed stop.

• Centering the baking pans in the oven will produce better cooking results.
• When baking multiple items, make sure to
leave a 1 to 1.5 in (2.5 to 3.8 cm) space
around each item.
• When baking on multiple racks, place the
oven racks in positions 2 and 5.
• Place two pans in the rear of the top rack
and the other two pans in the front of the
bottom rack.
Proper positioning of food items in the
oven will help you achieve the best cooking results.
