SMW Oven Care and Use Manual Lower Oven Operating Tips
Oven Racks
Safety Stops
• The racks are designed with safety stops and a
back rail. When the racks are placed correctly in
the oven, they will stop before coming completely
out from the oven. They will not tilt when placing
food on them.
• When placing food on a rack, pull the rack out to
the stop position. Place the food on the rack,
then slide the rack back into the oven. This will
eliminate reaching into a hot oven.
Self-Cleaning the Racks
• The racks may be cleaned in the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle; however, they will lose their
shiny finish and change to a metallic gray. See
Oven Cleaning Chart on Pages 52 and 53.
• Rack supports should not be removed.
Rack Levels
• Rack levels are numbered from the bottom rack
support to the top.
• The correct rack level for baking a food item
depends on the recipe and the cooking mode.
See Baking, Roasting and Broiling Charts on Pages
38 to 40 and Page 46. Place rack(s) in the proper
level before turning on the oven.
Insert The Rack As Follows:
1. Hold the rack with the back rail up and towards
the back of the oven. Rest the rear of the rack on
the desired rack slide.
2. Push the rack into the oven as far as it will go. It
will "drop" into position.
3. Pull the rack forward to confirm safety stops are
below rack guide.
Remove Or Reposition The Racks As
Follows:
1. Slide the rack to the front of the oven.
2. Lift the front of the rack up so the safety stops
slide over the rack slides.
3. Pull the rack forward to remove.
