4. Position the racks correctly in the oven.
The correct rack position depends on the recipe and the cooking mode.
The rack positions are numbered from the bottom of the oven,
like an elevator. Rack position 2 is the most frequently used position.
Place rack(s) in the proper position before turning on the oven. For all
models insert and remove racks as follows:
Insert the racks as follows:
a. Hold the rack with the back rail in the up position towards the rear
of the oven. Slip it into the oven so the rack slides are between the
rack and the rack guides.
b. Tip the front of the rack up slightly as it slides into the oven so that
the safety stops clear the rack slides. The safety stops on the back
of the rack will keep it from sliding out of the oven when it is pulled
forward.
Remove or reposition the racks as follows:
a. Pull the rack forward,
b. Lift the front of the rack up so the safety stops clear the rack slides.
c. Pull the rack forward to remove.
Remove all packaging
materials and tempo-
rary labels from oven
and cooktop.
Before baking or broiling for the first time, the oven and broiler should be
turned on separately to burn off the manufacturing oils. Turn the oven on
to 450˚F. for 20 to 30 minutes; then turn the broiler to "Broil" for same
length of time. You may wish to turn on the ventilator above your range
during this time.
Please read Page 34 in Section 6: Care and Maintenance before cleaning
the oven racks.
Aluminum foil should never be used to cover the oven racks
or to line the oven. It may cause damage to the oven if it
touches the infrared broiler or when heat is trapped be-
neath it.
