Oven Cooking

Oven Vent

When the oven is in use the area near the vent may become
hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening.
The oven vent is located below the backguard on your
range.
When high moisture foods are cooked in the upper oven,
steam may be visible coming from the oven vent. This is
normal.

LOCATION

Oven Lights

The oven lights automatically come on whenever an
oven door is opened. When the door is closed, press
the Oven Light pad to turn the oven light on or off.
A beep will sound every time the Oven Light pad is
pressed.

Oven Bottom

Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or
sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use
the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Do not
place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven
bottom.
Oven Fan
A convection fan is used to circulate hot air in the oven when
the convection feature is selected. It automatically turns on
after the Convect Bake or Convect Roast pads are pressed
and will turn off when convection is canceled.
Important: The convection fans will automatically stop when
the oven door is opened.
