Oven Vent

A
A. Oven vent (ceramic
glass model)
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent
will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt
or burn near the oven vent.
On coil element models, the element can be used when the oven
is in use as long as the cookware does not extend more than
½" (1.3 cm) over the element.

Baking and Roasting

Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless recommended in the recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired
temperature setting. The OVEN ON and OVEN HEATING
lights will turn on, and the set temperature will appear in the
display for 5 seconds.
On some models, set the oven selector to BAKE and turn the
oven temperature control knob to the desired temperature
setting. The OVEN ON indicator light will turn on and will turn
off once the oven is preheated.
2. Place food in oven.
The bake and roasting elements will turn on and off to keep
the oven temperature at the setting. The OVEN ON indicator
light(s) will turn on and off with the elements.
3. Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF when finished.
On some models, turn both the oven selector and oven
temperature control knob to OFF. The OVEN ON indicator
light will turn off.
