18 Before Setting the Oven Controls Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven racks • To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven). • To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out. • To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using. Glide racks 5. Be sure to grasp both upper and lower rack portions together when removing or handling the glide rack. The rack portions move independently and are difficult to handle unless held together. To replace the glide rack: 1. Grasp both upper and lower portions of the glide rack (see figure 3). 2. Lift and hold the rack level between the oven cavity walls. 3. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and slide the rack completely into position. Some force may be necessary to make sure the oven rack has snapped into place. IMPORTANT • It is recommended to remove all racks from the oven during self-clean cycles, but porcelain racks may be left in the oven if they are soiled. After a self clean cycle, or anytime the gliding is rough, the glide racks should be treated with graphite lubrication. • Do not use cooking oil, cooking spray, or other oil-based lubrication products on the glide rack extension tracks. Use only the graphite lubrication in this area. To order graphite lubrication, contact your installer, servicer or dealer. • It is important that the parts of the rack that contact the oven sides always have a light coating of vegetable oil. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle and when the rack becomes difficult to reposition in the oven.

Lift up on the release lever located across the lower front of the rack, as shown in figure 1. 2. While holding up the release lever (see figure 2), pull the glide rack out of the oven until the stop position is reached, use two hands if necessary. 3. Using both hands, grasp the upper and lower portions of the glide rack (see figure 3). 4. Lift up the front of the rack slightly and continue to pull the rack away from the oven.
