The oven racks are removable and can be positioned in
any of the seven oven rack positions. Each oven rack
has a built-in stop to prevent it from accidentally being
pulled completely out. Proper positioning of the oven
racks will provide the best cooking results. The diagram
to the right shows the rack positions.
• Do not cover an oven rack with aluminum foil.
This will disturb the heat circulation, resulting in
poor baking.
• Do not place aluminum foil on the oven bottom because it could cause
damage.
• Arrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.
• When placing an oven rack in the topmost rack position (position 7), make sure
the rack is stably situated on the embossed stop.
