Oven Racks; Selecting The Rack Position - Siemens HB30S50U Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Oven Racks

• The oven has rack guides at four levels.
Rack positions are numbered from the bottom rack
guide (#1) to the top (#4). (See graphic below).
• Check cooking charts for best rack positions to use
when cooking.
• Make sure that the racks are level once they are in
position.
• The racks are designed to stop when pulled
forward to their limit.
• CAUTION! Never use aluminum foil to cover the
oven racks or to line the oven. Heat trapped under
the foil can cause damage to the oven liner.
CAUTION: CAUTION:
place oven racks in desired positions before turning
the oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is
warm.

See graphic below.
Rack 4 - Highest position. Use for melting cheese
quickly.
Rack 3 - Use for broiling most meats and for toasting
bread.
Rack 2 - Use for pies, casseroles, breads, bundt or
pound cakes. Also use for broiling thicker cuts of meat.
Rack 1 - Lowest Position. Use for angel food cake,
large roasts, turkey and poultry.
Note: Always remove oven racks before self-cleaning
the oven. If racks are left in the oven during the self-
clean mode, they will lose their shiny fi nish and may
not glide smoothly. To improve glide, wipe the rack
edges with a small amount of vegetable oil, then wipe
off excess.
