during cooking.

Oven Shelves

The shelves 

 designed with

stop-locks, so that when placed
correctly on the shelf supports,
they will stop before coming
completely out from the oven, and
will not tilt when removing food
from or placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf,
pull the shelf out to the stop
position. Place the cookware on
the shelf, then slide the shelf back
into the oven. This will eliminate
reaching into the hot oven.

To remove the shelves from the
oven pull the shelf toward you, tilt

the front end upward and pull the
shelf out.

To replace,  place the shelf on the
shelf support with the stop-locks
(the curved extension of 
facing up and toward the rear of
the oven. Tilt up front and push
shelf toward the back of the oven
until it goes past “stop” on the oven

 Then lower the front of the

shelf and push it 

 the way back.
