OVEN RACKS
The two oven racks are designed with a "lock-stop" position to keep racks from accidentally coming completely out of the oven. To remove: Be sure rack is cool. Pull rack out to the "lock-stop" position. Tilt up and continue pulling until rack releases.

HINTS:
NEVER place pans directly on the oven bottom. Do not cover entire rack with aluminum foil. Do not place directly unon oven bottom or place foil foil directly der utensil. To catch spillovers, cut a piece of foi_a little larger than the pan and place it on the rack below the rack containing the utensil. Ifcooking on two racks, stagger pans so one is not directly over the other. Use rack positions2 and 4, or 2 and 5, dependingon baking results,when cooking on two racks.

Preheating at a higher temperalure may have a negative effect on baking results. To preheat: Set oven for baking and allow the oven to heat until display shows the preset temperature, t 00 will appear in the display until the oven reaches t00°F. The display will then show the oven temperature in 5° increments until the oven reaches the preset temperature. Once the preset temperature is reached, and the oven temperature has stabilized, a single beep will sound. If the oven temperature ischanged after preheating, a beep will signal that the oven has reached the new temperature setting.

The oven temperature is maintained by cycling the burner on and off. After the oven temperature has been set, there will be about a 45 second delay before the burner ignites. This is normal, and no gas escapes during this delay. During the clean cycle, and some extended oven cooking operations, you may hear a "popping" sound when the burner cycles off. This is a normal operating sound of the burner,
