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 1½" between pans to allow
sufficient space for air to flow.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired
position before you turn the oven on.
The number of rack positions may vary by model.
Extension Racks
Always pull the rack out by its upper front rail to its fully
open position, when placing or removing cookware.
Extension racks cannot be used in the top rack position.
Fully Open Position
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 a 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
Accessories section of the manual.
