Rack Positions - Maytag electric range Owner's Manual

OVEN RACK
Do not attempt to change the rack position when the
oven is hot.
The oven rack is designed with a safety lock-stop position.
This prevents the rack from accidently coming completely
out of the oven when pulling the rack out to add or remove
food.
To remove oven rack:
1. When rack is cool, pull rack straight out until it stops at
the lock-stop position.
NOTE: If it is necessary to change rack position when
rack is hot, use potholders to protect hands.
2. Tilt the front end of the rack up.
3. Continue pulling rack out of oven.
To replace oven rack:
1. Place rack on the rack supports in oven.
2. Tilt the front end of the rack up slightly.
3. Slide rack back until it clears the lock-stop position.
4. Lower front of rack and slide rack straight back into
oven.
5. Pull rack out to the lock-stop position to be sure rack is
correctly replaced. Push rack back into oven and close
oven door.

RACK POSITIONS

S For optimum results, air must circulate freely within the
oven and around the food. To help ensure this, place
food in the center of the oven. Allow two inches
between the edge of the pan(s) and the oven walls.
S Use one rack for optimum baking results of cakes,
cookies or biscuits.
Position the rack so the food is in the center of the
oven. Use either rack position 2 or 3.
S If cooking on two racks, select models, stagger the food
to ensure proper air flow.
RACK 4: Used for most broiling and two-rack baking.
RACK 3: Used for most baked goods on a cookie sheet or
jelly roll pan, or frozen convenience foods, or for two-rack
