Oven Operation
DEHYDRATION TIPS
• Dehydration racks can be purchased at a hardware or
discount store.
• Select a convection setting of 150°F (65°C) and stack
the dehydration racks in the oven, as many as will fit.
• Convection baking time for apples, kiwi, oranges,
pears, strawberries and tomatoes is 6 to 8 hours.
• Total dehydration times depend on the thickness of the
slices and the amount of pulp to seeds and juice.
Consult a food preservation guide for specific times
and handling of various foods.

Oven Racks
E
ach large oven has three heavy-duty racks. The small,
non-convection oven on 48" (1219) ranges has two oven
racks. Each oven rack has a rack stop that prevents it
from sliding out of the oven completely.
Rack placement in the oven affects optimum cooking
results. Oven rack position 1 is closest to the bottom and
position 5 is closest to the top. Refer to the illustration
below. The Wolf cooking guide on pages 29–32 provides
suggested rack positions.
To insert a rack, align the rack stops to the front of the
rack guide. Tip the rack upward so the rack stops slip
below the rail. Once in position, push the rack in. It should
slide freely and be level. Pull the rack out to stop position
to check that it stops securely.
To remove a rack from the oven, pull the rack forward to
the stop position. Lift up on the front and continue pulling
until the rack releases.
Use dry pot holders when handling oven racks. Racks
retain heat after the oven is turned off.
Foods must be dried to below .60 water activity or
dry to the touch to be safely stored with no danger of
mold, yeasts or bacteria growing. When in doubt,
dehydrate for the maximum time specified.
