OVEN RACKS
Your oven has six rack positions. 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 at least 1½" between pans to allow
sufficient space for air to flow.
Oven Racks
Your oven may have extension racks and/or traditional flat
racks.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired
position before you turn the oven on.
Extension Racks
Extension racks have an install feature that locks into the
rack supports (guides) on both sides. Once the install
feature 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, see the Accessories
and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.
To Remove An Extension Rack:
1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the
oven.
2. Grasp the rack by both its upper front rail and lower
front rail and lift straight up to unlock the rack from the
rack supports.
3. Firmly holding onto both the upper front rail and lower
front rail, pull the rack forward. Grasp the rack on both
sides if necessary. Then remove it from the oven.
To Replace An Extension Rack:
1. Place the rear portion of the rack onto
the rack supports (guides) as shown in
the picture.
2. Hold the upper front rail
and lower front rail
and push
the rack all the way in until the install feature locks into
the front rack support.
If extension racks are difficult to replace or remove, wipe
the oven rack supports with vegetable oil. Do not wipe oil
on the rack slides.
NOTE:
Using other cooking oils will cause a discoloring or
a rust like color residue on the racks and cavity sides. To
clean this residue, use a soap and water or a vinegar and
water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft
cloth.
