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.
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 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 
Assistance and Accessories section at the beginning of 
the manual.
To Remove An Extension Rack:
1.  Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the 
oven so that side paddles on the rack disengage from 
the oven support.
2.  Slide the rack toward you to the bump (stop position) 
on the rack support.
3.  Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the 
sliding rack, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To Replace An Extension Rack:
1.  Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the 
sliding rack.
2.  Place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks) onto the 
oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and push it 
in as far as it will go.
If extension racks are difficult to replace or remove, wipe 
the oven rack supports with cooking oil. Do not wipe oil 
on the rack slides.
To Lubricate the Paddle:
Shake lubricant and apply to the moving parts of the paddle 
mechanisms as shown.
The number of rack positions may vary by model.
