Oven Cooking

Oven Vent

When the oven is in use, the vent and
surrounding area may become hot
enough to cause burns. Never block the
vent opening.
OVEN VENT LOCATION
• On glass-ceramic range
• On coil element range

On a coil element surface, be sure the
drip bowl in the vent location has a
hole in the center.
Do not cover the
drip bowl with alu-
minum foil.

Oven Light

Push the switch on the control
panel to turn the oven light on
and off. On select models the oven
light automatically comes on
whenever the oven door is
opened.
