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" between pans to allow
sufficient space for air to flow.
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.
Extension racks cannot be used in the top rack position.
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, read the
Accessories section of the 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 vegetable oil. Do not wipe oil
on the rack slides.
NOTE:
Using other cooking oils will cause a discoloring
or a rust like color residue on the racks and cavity sides.
To clean this residue, use a soap and water or a vinegar
and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with
a soft cloth.
To Lubricate the Paddle:
Shake lubricant and apply to the moving parts of the
paddle mechanisms as shown.
