USING THE RANGE:

 Oven Racks

Oven Racks

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" (3.8 cm) between pans to 

allow sufficient space for air to flow.
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

Always pull the rack out by its upper front rail to its fully 

open 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 side 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 so that side paddles on the rack disengage from 

the oven support.

2.  Slide the rack toward you to the bump (stop position) 

on the rack support.

3.  Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the 

sliding rack, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To Replace An Extension Rack:

1.  Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the 

sliding rack.

2.  Place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks) onto the 

oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and push it 

in as far as it will go.

If extension racks are difficult to replace or remove, wipe 

the oven rack supports with cooking oil. Do not wipe oil 

on the rack slides.

To Lubricate the Paddle:

Shake lubricant and apply to the moving parts of the 

paddle mechanisms as shown.
