BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven racks
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food or
adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely
cooled if possible. Oven racks may be very hot and may cause
burns.
Air circulation in the oven
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2-4 inches
(5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation. Be
sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven
door, sides or back of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around cookware for even heat
to reach the food.
The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel.
When the oven is operational, warm air will pass through this
vent for proper air circulation and provide good baking results in
the upper oven. Do not block this vent.
Removing and replacing flat or offset oven racks
• To remove - pull the oven rack straight forward until it
reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly
and slide out.
• To replace - place the oven rack on the rack guides on the
oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and
slide the oven rack back into place.
Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and may
be placed in most oven rack positions.(
Figure 21 )
The offset oven rack ( Figure 22 ) provides additional step down
positions from the standard flat rack design. The offset design
positions the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower
than the flat rack and may be used in most oven rack positions.
The fully extendable Luxury-Glide™ oven rack (
Figure 23 )
allows you to effortlessly extend your food away from the oven.
See Removing and Replacing the Luxury-Glide™ Oven
Racks for instructions.
The bottom oven rack (
Figure 24 ) is used on the lowest rack
position to maximize space for baking or roasting large cuts of
meat.
