To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front
edge, then lift out. Use the following illustration and chart as a
guide.
BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.
Split Oven Rack
(on some models)
Split-Rack with Removable Insert
The split-rack with removable insert is a space maximizer. When
the two are attached, they make a full rack. The insert can also be
removed to provide room for large items such as a turkey and
casseroles. Do not place more than 25 lbs (11.3 kg) on the split-
rack.
The insert can also be used on the counter for a cooling rack.
If you would like to purchase a split-oven rack, one may be
ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for
Part Number 4396927.
To Use Racks:
1. Place a full rack on position 1 or 2, and the split-rack on
position 3 or 4.
2. Place large items on the right side of the full rack.
3. Place deeper, covered dishes on the left side of the full rack.
4. Place shallow dishes on the split-rack.
5. When finished cooking, slowly remove items.
