Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish,
do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure
that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
■ Position racks before turning on the oven.
■ Do not move racks with bakeware on them.
■ Make sure racks are level.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge,
and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a
guide.
The oven has 7 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous
illustration and the following table.
*If your model has a Max Capacity Oven Rack, the recessed ends
must be placed in the rack position above the desired position of
the food. See the following illustration.
IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max
Capacity Oven Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted
as shown in the previous figure.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5 for regular or convection baking.
3-rack (True convection only): Use rack positions 2, 4 and 6.
Baking Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use racks 2 and 5.
For best results when convection baking cakes on 2 racks, use
racks 2 and 5. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.
Split Oven Rack
(on some models)
Split-Rack with Removable Insert
The split-rack with removable insert is a space maximizer. When
the two are attached, they make a full rack. The insert can also be
removed to provide room for large items such as a turkey and
casseroles. Do not place more than 25 lbs (11.3 kg) on the split-
rack.
The insert can also be used on the counter as a cooling rack.
If you would like to purchase a split-oven rack, one may be
ordered. See “Accessories” section to order.
To Use Racks:
1. Place a full rack in the lower section of the oven and position
the split-rack above it.
2. Place large items on the right side of the full rack.
3. Place deeper, covered dishes on the left side of the full rack.
4. Place shallow dishes on the split-rack.
5. When finished cooking, slowly remove items.
