positions for various types of foods are provided in the
Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to
impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer
darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving
food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too
brown on top try moving them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow
air to flow.

onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and
push the rack in.
Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a
self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
Extension Racks (on some models)
Extension racks have a frame that locks into the rack
supports on both sides. Once the frame is locked into
place, always pull the rack out, by its upper front rail, to
its full extension stop position, when placing or removing
cookware.
If extension racks are difficult to extend, lubricate the
racks with the graphite lubricant provided with your
oven. Remove the rack from the oven, remove debris in
the slide tracks with a paper towel, shake the graphite
lubricant and place 4 small drops on the two bottom
tracks of the left and right sides. Open and close the
rack several times to distribute the lubricant.
To order additional graphite lubricant, read the
Assistance and Accessories section at the beginning of
this manual.

If extension racks are difficult to replace or remove, wipe
the oven rack supports with cooking oil. Do not wipe oil
on the rack slides.
Oven Air Vents

provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the
range to keep cool and operate properly with correct
combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at
the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom
of the range.
Vent appearance and location vary.
