Flat Half Oven Rack (some models) Figure 3 Your appliance may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack types shown; Flat Handle Oven Rack (Figure 2) and Flat Oven Half Rack (Figure 3). The Flat Half Rack has a removable insert that can provide extra space for larger food Figure 4 items. The right half rack portion may still be used for other food items like a casserole dish (See Figure 3). To remove the insert, squeeze on the left front insert side (See Figure 4) of the rack and tilt out clockwise. To reinstall insert rear hooks at back of insert (See Figure 5) and lay insert down. Make sure both insert front hooks snap into rack (See Figure 5). Figure 5 Do not use cookware that extends beyond the edge of the Flat Half Rack. For best results, allow 2 inches between the pan placed on the rack and oven side or rear walls. 1 Oven Rack Air Circulation in the Oven For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food. Multiple Oven Racks 14
