Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Using the oven. To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on. Before you begin... The racks have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt. When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump 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 end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in. NOTE: The oven has 7 rack positions. CAUTION: Never place cooking utensils 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. NOTE: A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
