POSITIONING THE OVEN RACKS
CAUTION
• Do not cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. This disturbs the heat circulation and results 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 top most rack position, make sure that the rack is stably situated on
the embossed stop.
Removing an oven rack
1 Pull the rack straight out until it stops.
2 Lift the front of the oven rack and pull to remove it from the oven. Replacing an oven rack
1 Place the back edge of the rack on the a rack support.
2 Lift the front of the rack and slide it into the oven.
• Centering the baking pans in the oven produces better cooking results.
• When baking multiple items, make sure that you leave a 1 to 1.5 in. (2.5 to 3.8 cm) space around each
item.
• When baking or fan baking on a single rack, place the oven rack in positions 3 or 4.
• When baking or fan baking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 3 and 5. Place two pans
in the rear of the top rack and the other two pans in the front of the bottom rack.
You can remove and reposition the oven racks in any of the six rack positions. Each oven rack has a built-
in stop to prevent it from accidentally being pulled completely out. Correct positioning of the oven racks
provides the best cooking results.
WARNING
Stand away from the oven when opening the oven door. Escaping hot air or steam can burn your hands,
face, or eyes. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
