USING THE OVEN: Oven Racks Oven Racks and Rack Positions Your oven has six rack positions. Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time. When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow air to flow. Flat Racks When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump (stop position) on the rack support. To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out. To replace, place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks) onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in. Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges. CAUTION: Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones, aluminum foil or any other items on the oven floor. There is a heating element beneath the oven floor. Placing items on the oven floor may cause the oven to overheat, resulting in damage to the oven and risk of damage or fire to cabinets. Aluminum Foil Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is not covered by the product warranty. Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation. 49-80656-2 9
