BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located in the rear of the cooking surface.
When the oven is in use, warm air passes through this vent for
proper air circulation and provides good baking results in the
upper oven. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent.
This is normal. Do not block this vent.
IMPORTANT! Some models are equipped with a cooling fan
that runs during the cooking process to cool internal electronic
components. It is normal for this fan to continue to run for an
extended period of time, even when the oven is off.
Figure 11: Oven vent location
Protective liners — Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or
any other parts of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter
heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and may cause
permanent damage to the oven interior. During self clean
temperatures the oven will be hot enough to melt foil. Use
aluminum foil only as recommended in this manual. Improper
installation or use of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock or fire.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food or
adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely
cooled if possible. Oven racks may be very hot and may cause
burns.
Remove all oven racks and rack ladders before starting a self
clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a
cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks may be
damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish.

Sliding Rack
Figure 12: Rack types
When setting the flat portion of the sliding rack on a regular
ladder rack support and inserting into the oven, there may be
some resistance. Do not push the rack hard toward the back of
the oven. Instead, gently push the rack until the front is even with
the ladder rack support before closing the oven door.
The flat portion of the racks may be removed from the tracks
and used like a regular flat rack on all the other rack positions.
Arranging, Removing, and Replacing Oven
Racks
IMPORTANT! Remove all oven racks, rack ladders, and
any other accessories from the oven before starting a self
clean cycle.
•
To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the oven).
•
To remove - For ease of removal, racks should not be
placed in adjacent rack positions. Pull the oven rack
straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up
front of oven rack slightly and slide out.
•
To replace - place the oven rack on the rack guides on the
oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and
slide the oven rack back into place.
IMPORTANT!
To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to
close the oven door until all oven racks are fully positioned
inside the oven cavity.
