USING YOUR OVEN Positioning rack(s) and pans The racks are designed with stop locks. When placed correctly on the rack supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are removing food from them or placing food on them. To remove a rack from the oven, pull it toward you, tilt the front end upward, and pull it out. Stop Lockr _ General guidelines Follow this section to get the best cooking /1 results. • Always place oven racks where you need them before turning on the oven. • To move a rack, pull it out to the stop, raise the front edge, and lift it out. • Be sure the rack(s) is level. • If rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot, use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands. • When baking/roasting with 1 rack, place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven. • Do not place items on the oven door when it is open. NOTE: For information on where to place your racks when broiling, see "Broiling chart" on Rack placement for specific foods: page 11. FOOD RACK POSITION BAKING TIPS: When baking with insulated cookie sheets or baking pans, place them in the bottom third of the oven. You may need to increase the recommended baking times, so test for doneness before removing from the oven. For most baking, reduce the oven temperature by 25°F but use the same baking time when using ovenproof glassware or dark pans. These pans absorb heat.
