Oven Racks
Cookware
Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
Recommended rack 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
flow. This may
improve cooking
eveness.
Removing and Replacing Flat Racks
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out

To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the
stop position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.
To replace a rack,
place the curved end of
the rack onto the rack
supports. Tilt up the front
of the rack and push
the rack in until it stops.
Then lay the rack flat
and push it in until it is
all the way into the oven.
Racks may become
difficult to slide,
especially after a self-
clean cycle. To improve
sliding conditions, use a
soft cloth or paper towel
to rub vegetable oil on
the left and right edges

supports.
NOTE:
Remove unused racks when using the oven for
faster preheat, improved efficiency and optimal cooking
performance.
Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily

readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier
than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature by 25°F next time.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies
and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom
browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well. It is
recommended to preheat this type of cookware if
possible. Additional cook time may be required.
CAUTION
Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat
or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of
these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more

to prevent poor heat circulation.
The number of rack positions may vary by model.
