Types of Oven Racks
Flat Handle Oven Rack
Fig. 3
Your range may be equipped with one or more
of the oven rack types shown; a Porcelain
coated Flat Handle Oven Rack (Fig. 3) or a
Porcelain coated Flat Oven Half Rack (Fig.
4). The Flat Oven 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 Fig. 4).
To remove the Half Oven Rack insert, squeeze on the left front insert side (See Fig. 5) of the rack and tilt out clockwise . To
reinstall insert rear hooks at back of insert (See 1-Fig. 6) and lay insert down. Make sure both insert front hooks snap into
rack (See 2-Fig. 6).
Do not use cookware that extends beyond the edge of the Oven Flat Half Rack. For best results, allow 2 inches between
the pan placed on the rack and oven side or rear walls.
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located below the backguard (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on,
warm air is released through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK THE VENT.
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.
Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.
To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack
upward and slide the rack back into place.
