Tilt the front end ofthe rack up and continue pulling the rack out of the oven. To replace: Placethe rack on the rack supports and tilt the front end of the rack upslightly. Slide it back until it clears the lock-stop position. Lowerthe front and slide the rack straight in. Pull the rack out to the lock-stop position to be sure it is positioned correctly and then return it to its normal position,
It is important that air can circulatefreely within the oven and around the food. To help ensure this, place food on the center of the oven rack. Allow one to two inches between the edge of the utensil(s) and the oven walls. For optimum baking results of cakes, cookies or biscuits, use one rack. Position the rack so the food is in the center of the oven. Use either rack position 2 or 3. If cooking on more than one rack, stagger the food to ensure proper air flow. If cooking on two racks, use rack positions 2 and 4 for cakes and rack positions I and 4 when using cookie sheets. Never place two cookie sheets on one rack.
