USING YOUR RANGE

Positioning racks

Follow this section carefully to get the best
cooking results.

Before turning on the oven, place oven racks
where you need them.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop, raise the
front edge, and lift it out.

Be sure the rack(s) is level.

Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your
hands if rack(s) must be moved while the oven
is hot.

When baking/roasting with 1 rack, place the
rack so the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.

When baking/roasting on 2 racks, position racks
in oven to allow good circulation of air around all
the food.

Do not place items on the oven door when it
is open.
