The shelvesare designedwith
stop-locksso when placed correctly
on the shelf supports, they will stop
before comingcompletely out of
the ovenand willnot tilt when you

are removing foodor placing food
on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf,
pull the shelf outto the “stop”

position. Place the cookware on
the shelf, then slide the shelf back

intothe oven. This will eliminate
reaching into the hot oven.

Toremove the shelves from the

ovenfor cleaning, pull out to smp
position, lift up the front of the
shelvesand pull them out.
