Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located below the back guard. When the oven is on, warm air is release through this vent. This
venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
•
DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.
Arranging Oven Racks
•
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN)
•

•
Racks have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely
out, and will not tilt. Do not move racks with bake ware on them.
To remove, pull the rack out until the stop position, raise the front edge and slide out.
To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide it back into place.

Air Circulation in the Oven
•
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate.
•
For best air circulation and baking results allow two inches of space around bake ware and be sure pans and
bake ware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity.
•
The hot air must circulate around the pans and bake ware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
