Oven Cooking

Oven Fan
A cooling fan will automatically turn on during all broiling and
some baking operations. It is used to keep internal parts on
the control panel cool. The fan will automatically turn off
when parts have cooled. The fan may continue to operate
after the oven has been turned off. This is normal.
Oven Vent
When the oven is in use the area near the vent may become
hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening.
The oven vent is located at the rear of the cooking
surface.
OVEN VENT LOCATION
Do not place
plastics near the
vent opening as
heat from the vent
could distort or
melt the plastic.
Oven Light
Press the Oven Light switch on the control panel to
turn the oven light on and off. The oven light is only
activated by this switch.
Oven Bottom
Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or
sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use
the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Do not
place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven
bottom.
