Always use pot holders or
oven mitts when adjusting the oven racks.
Wait until the oven has completely cooled if
possible, Oven racks may be HOT and may
cause burns.
Flat Half Oven Rack
Figure 3
Figure 5
Your appliance may be equipped with one or
more of the oven rack types shown; Flat
Handle Oven Rack (Figure 2), Flat Oven
Half Rack (Figure 3) and Offset Oven Rack
(Figure 4).
The Flat Half Rack has a removable insert that can provide extra space for larger
food items. The right half rack portion may still be used for other food items like a
casserole dish (See Figure 3). To remove the insert, squeeze on the left front insert
side (See Figure 5) of the rack and tilt out clockwise. To reinstall insert rear hooks
at back of insert (See figure 6) and lay insert down. Make sure both insert front
hooks snap into rack (See figure 6).
The Offset Oven Rack is used to maximize cooking space (See Figure 4). The
offset rack can be used in the Iowet rack position to roast large cuts of meat and
poultry.
Do not use cookware that extends beyond the edge of the Flat Half Rack. For
best results, allow 2 inches between the pan placed on the rack and oven side or
rear walls.
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and 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. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in
the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
