items or removing food dishes from the oven (Fig. 3).
The rack guides are curved near the front of each guide.
The curve will catch and hold the oven rack stable into a
stop position when an oven rack is extended straight out
from the oven.

the stop position and pull
the rack out of the oven
cavity (Fig. 4).

between one of the left
and right front guides
along the oven walls. Be

and right oven guides
that will hold the oven
rack level. Tilt front of
rack upward and slide
rack in past the stop
