STURDIGLIDE
TM
Mate Rack
The STURDIGLIDE Mate Rack is designed especially for your
broiler or roasting pan. This rack is elevated on each side, and
has a unique shallow basin-shaped
depression in the center,
allowing for easier removal of your broil or roasting pan from the
oven.
The broiler pan can be placed on the STURDIGLIDE Mate Rack
and placed below food that may spill over during cooking.
To Use:
1. When using the broiler pan, remove broiling rack.
2. Place broiler pan directly on the STURDIGLIDE Mate Rack.
3. Preheat the oven with broiler pan in place.
Food can be placed on a rack above the pan, or directly on the
pan during cooking. Use the following chart as a guide when
cooking foods using the STURDIGLIDE Mate Rack.

1. Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air
circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set
plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the
oven vent.
ULTRABAKE
TM
Temperature
Management
System
The ULTRABAKE system electronically
regulates the oven heat
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature
range for optimal cooking results. This feature is automatically
activated when the oven is in use.
•
When using the oven for the first time, it is necessary to light
the surface burners first to purge air from the gas lines.
•
Do not try to light the oven burner during a power failure.
•
Do not place food or bakeware directly on oven door or oven
bottom.
