2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.

3 or 4 Opposite corners on each rack. Make sure that
no bakeware piece is directly over another.

the two are attached, they make a full rack. The insertcan also be
removed to provide room for large items such as a turkey and
casseroles. Do not place more than 25 Ibs (11.3 kg) on the split-
rack.
The insert can also be used on the counter for a cooling rack.

On models without a temperature probe, use a meat
thermometer to determine doneness of meat, poultry and fish.
The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to
determine doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with
this range.
• Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion
of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the
thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
• After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat
_/_" (1.3 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops,
cook the meat or poultry longer.
• Check all meat, poultry and fish in 2 or 3 different places.
