2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so 

that

when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they
will stop before coming completely out from the
oven, and will not tilt when removing food from or
placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware
on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.
This will eliminate reaching into 

 hot oven.

To remove the

shelves from the 

oven, pull toward

end upward and
pull them out.
