Oven Racks

Rack Positions

Your oven has two rack positions in the upper oven 

(A, B) and four rack positions in the lower oven (R, 1, 

2, 3). 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 sufficient space between pans to allow 

air to flow. This may improve cooking evenness.

Removing and Replacing Flat Racks

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out 

to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the 

stop position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.
To replace a rack, place the curved end of the rack onto 

the rack supports. Tilt up the front of the rack and push 

the rack in until it stops. Then lay the rack flat and push 

it in until it is all the way into the oven.
Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a 

self-clean cycle. To improve sliding conditions, use a soft 

cloth or paper towel to rub vegetable oil on the left and 

right edges of the racks and/or rack supports.

NOTE:

 Remove unused racks when using the oven for 

faster preheat, improved efficiency, and optimal cooking 

performance.

Extension Racks (on some models)

Extension racks have a frame that locks into the rack 

supports on both sides. Once the frame is locked into place, 

always use the upper front rail to pull the rack out to its full 

extension 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 (see Extension Rack 

Removal), remove debris in the slide 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.
See the Accessories section for instructions on ordering 

additional racks and graphite lubricant.

Extension Rack Removal

1.  Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the oven.
2.  Firmly holding onto both the upper and lower front 

rails, pull the rack toward you, tilt the front end up and 

pull the rack out.

Extension Rack Replacement

1.  Place the curved end of the rack onto the rack supports.
2.  Tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in until 

it stops.

3.  Lay the rack flat and push it in until it is all the way 

into the oven.

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.
