Oven Racks
HG25 models have two flat racks and one full extension
rack. HG24 models have three flat racks. The racks are
designed with a stop so they will stop before coming
completely out of the oven and not tilt.
Oven Modes and Features
The two sections of the rack are designed to come
apart for easier cleaning.
To do so, place rack on flat
surface in the closed position top side up. Rotate one side
of top rack towards you until it is past the stop (ball). Pull
the rack up and out, rotated side first (See Figure 2).
To
reassemble rack
, hold top rack diagonally across bottom
rack. Insert one side of top rack to closed position. Rotate
the other side toward the back of the rack until it passes
the stop (ball). Push top rack the rest of the way in (See
Figure 3).
If the top rack will not extend fully, it is not installed
correctly. Reinstall it so that the pan stop is in the back of
the oven.
Removing from oven:
Grasp rack firmly on both sides
and pull rack toward you. When the stop is reached, tilt
rack up and pull the rest of the way out.
Replacing in oven:
Grasp rack firmly on both sides. Tilt
rack up to allow stop into rack holder. Bring rack to a
horizontal position and push the rest of the way in. Rack
should be straight and flat, not crooked.
Note:
The full extension rack must be in the closed
position when removing and replacing. Grasp the entire
rack (both sections).
The Full Extension Rack
(HG25 models only) allows for
easier access to cooking foods. The bottom section
extends as far as the standard flat rack. However, the top
section extends beyond the bottom section bringing the
food closer to the user. To order a full extension rack,
contact Siemens Service: 866-44SIEMENS (447-4363) for
a dealer near you.
Use:
First, grasp the bottom section and pull straight out.
Once the stop is reached, grasp the top section and pull
straight out until the second stop is reached.
Cleaning:
Clean rack with hot sudsy water. Dry
thoroughly. For stubborn dirt, use a soap filled steel wool
pad.
DO NOT clean the rack in the self-cleaning oven.
