Locate the two "knockout" plates, on the rear

oven panel, near the top of the oven.
Using tin snips, carefully cut the web area from
the two holes side-by-side (that secure the
knockouts to the oven). Cut all four webs on
both rear knockouts; this will allow the
ventilation fan airflow to exhaust out the
rear of the oven.
CAUTION: Be sure to trim the sharp edges from
the openings after removing the knockout plates.
