RACK ARRANGEMENT - STANDARD OVEN
The standard oven has two rack positions and is supplied with one oven rack. Additional racks may be obtained
through a Vulcan-Hart parts depot.
For best results when baking cakes and pastries, it is recommended that only a single rack position be utilized.
However, proper rack usage and positioning is really determined by the individual cooking needs of the operator.
If you are cooking a large roast, the entire oven cavity may be utilized. Remove the oven rack completely from
the range and place the roasting pan directly on the oven bottom.
