Oven Shelves The shelves are designed with stop - locks so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports , they will stop before coming out completely from the oven , and will not tilt when removing food from or placing food on them . When placing cookware on a shelf , pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support . Place the cookware on the shell then slide the shelf back into the oven . This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven . To remove a shelf from either oven , pull the shelf toward you , tilt the front end upward aud pull it out . To replace , place the shelf on the shelf support with the stop - locks ( curved extension under shelf ) facing up toward the rear of the oven . Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support . Then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way back . 12
