Types of oven racksOven vent location
The oven vent is located below the control panel
(See Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air passes
through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not
block the oven vent.

oven rack
The at oven rack or at handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs. The
Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) is described
later in this section. The offset oven rack (some models)
is designed to place the base of the rack about 1/2 of a
rack position lower than normal. This rack design provides
several additional possible positions between the standard
positions.To maximize oven cooking space place the
bottom oven rack (some models) in the lowest rack
position for baking or and when roasting large cuts of
meat.
Removing, replacing & arranging racks
To remove - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out.
To replace - t the rack onto the guides on the oven
walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack
back into place.
Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the
oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).

Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4” (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat
to reach around the food.
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack positions 3 & 5 (See Figs. 2 & 3).
For best results when using a single oven at rack, place
cookware on rack positions 2, 3 or 4 (See Figs. 2 & 4).
Fig. 3 Fig. 4
Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
When using the appliance, oven racks and cooktop will
become very hot which can cause burns.
