proper position before turning on the oven.
Insert the racks as follows:

position towards the rear of the oven. Slip it
into the oven so the rack slides are between
the rack and the rack guides.

into the oven so that the safety stops clear the
rack slides. The safety stops on the back of
the rack will keep it from sliding out of the
oven when it is pulled forward.

seated on the burner bases of the range's
