MULTIPLE RACK COOKING AND BAKING
• Now you can cook a complete meal using mul-
tiple racks without flavor exchange from different
foods.
• Check that cooking or baking temperatures are
the same when cooking different foods at the
same time.
• Two racks can be used at one time during BAKE
mode, such as when baking a batch of cookies.
• Three racks or more can be used with convection
mode.
• Placing racks in oven: To insert racks into
the oven, hold the rack with the back rail up and
toward the back. Place the safety hooks under
the front of the rail guides. Push the rack into
the oven, lifting the rack stops over the front of
the rail guides. Slide the rack into position.
• Removing racks from oven: To remove racks
or reposition racks in the oven, pull the rack
toward the front of the oven. Lift up the front
of the rack over the safety stops and pull from
the oven.
• Place oven racks in desired positions before turn-
ing the oven on.
• Oven rack supports should not be removed from
the oven.
• CAUTION! Never use aluminum foil to cover the
oven racks or to line the oven. It can cause
damage to the oven can liner if heat is trapped
under the foil.
• When placing food on a rack, pull the rack out to
the stop position. The racks are designed to lock
and not tilt when pulled forward.
SELF-CLEANING THE RACKS
• If the racks are left in the oven during Self-Clean,
the racks will lose the shiny finish and change to
a dull, bluish, metallic gray. See Oven Care and
Cleaning Recommendations on Page 31.
CAUTION
Always insert racks with pan stops toward the
back of the oven and facing up. If inserted incor-
rectly, the rack could slide all the way out of the
oven causing injury and/or burns.
