The oven racks are removable and can be
positioned in any of the seven oven rack
positions. Each oven rack has a built-in stop
to prevent it from accidentally being pulled
completely out. Proper positioning of the
oven racks will provide the best cooking
results. The diagram to the right shows the
rack positions.
CAUTION
• Do not place aluminum foil on the oven bottom because it could cause damage.
• Do not cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation, resulting in poor baking. Foil may be used to catch spills by placing
a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food.
• Arrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.
• When placing an oven rack in the topmost rack position (position 7), make sure
the rack is stably situated on the embossed stop.
