Oven Racks
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 3.8 cm (1½") between pans to
allow sufficient space for air to flow.
Your Oven may have extension racks and/or traditional
flat racks.
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.
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 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
Assistance and Accessories section at the beginning of
the manual.
