Racks

• Position racks before turning on the oven.
• Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure the racks are level.

To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustrations as a guide.For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. Side 1 should cook for approximately 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

ALUMINUM FOIL
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner. For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely. Care must be taken to prevent aluminum foil and meat probes from contacting heating elements.
OVEN VENT

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered.  Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaningresults. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
