(2.5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.
Oven Half-Rack with Removable Insert
(on some models)
The Oven Half-Rack with Removable Insert maximizes space.
When the 2 racks are attached, they make a full rack. The insert
can also be removed to provide room for large items such as a
turkey or casseroles.
The insert can also be used on the counter for a cooling rack.
Do not place more than 25 lbs (11.3 kg) on the oven oven half-
rack or on the removable insert piece.
Before Self-Cleaning, remove the Oven Half-Rack with
Removable Insert to keep it shiny and easy to slide. See the
“General Cleaning” section in the Use and Care Guide for more
information.

1. Place a full rack on position 1 or 2, and the half rack on
position 3 or 4.
2. Place large items on the right-hand side of the full rack.
3. Place deeper, covered dishes on the left side of the full rack.
