29-618517Oven Air VentsNever block the vents (air openings) of the range. Theyprovide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for therange to keep cool and operate properly with correctcombustion.Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, atthe top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottomof the range. Vent appearance and location vary.Rack PositionsYour oven has six rack positions in the main oven.Recommended rack positions for various types offoods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjustingthe 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 positionhigher. If you find foods are too brown on top, try movingthem down next time.When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allowair to flow. This may improve cooking evenness.Removing and Replacing Flat RacksWhen placing and removing cookware, pull the rack outto the bump (stop position) on the rack support.To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches thestop position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.To replace a rack, place the curved end of the rack ontothe rack supports. Tilt up the front of the rack and pushthe rack in until it stops. Then lay the rack flat and pushit in until it is all the way into the oven.Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after aself-clean cycle. To improve sliding conditions, use a softcloth or paper towel to rub vegetable oil on the left andright edges of the racks and/or rack supports.NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven forfaster preheat, improved efficiency, and optimal cookingperformance.Extension Racks (on some models)Extension racks have a frame that locks into the racksupports on both sides. Once the frame is locked into place,always use the upper front rail to pull the rack out to its fullextension position when placing or removing cookware.If extension racks are difficult to extend, lubricate theracks with the graphite lubricant provided with your oven.Remove the rack from the oven (see Extension RackRemoval), remove debris in the slide tracks with a papertowel, shake the graphite lubricant, and place 4 small dropson the two bottom tracks of the left and right sides. Openand close the rack several times to distribute the lubricant.To order additional graphite lubricant, see the Accessoriesand Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.Extension Rack Removal1.
