Oven Racks
Rack Positions
Your oven has six rack positions in the main oven.
Recommended rack positions for various types of
foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting
the 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 sufficient space between pans to allow
air to flow. This may improve cooking evenness.
Removing and Replacing Racks
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out
to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the
stop position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.
To replace a rack, place the curved end of the rack onto
the rack supports. Tilt up the front of the rack and push
the rack in until it stops. Then lay the rack flat and push
it in until it is all the way into the oven.
Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a
self-clean cycle. To improve sliding conditions, use a soft
cloth or paper towel to rub vegetable oil on the left and
right edges of the racks and/or rack supports.
NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven for
faster preheat, improved efficiency and optimal cooking
performance.
See the Assistance/Accessories section for instructions
on ordering additional racks.
Broil Drawer (on some models)
For better searing use the rack position that places food
closest to the broil heater. Move food down or use Broil
Lo mode for more doneness/less searing. In positions
B and C, the broil pan (some models) or rack (some
models) rests on the drawer side supports. In the bottom
position (A), cookware sits directly on the drawer bottom.
Take care not to touch the inner door when placing and
removing food on the drawer bottom.
When placing cookware on the rack or drawer bottom, use front-to-back
orientation for easier placement and better coverage.
