B. Oven vent
C. Lower oven

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows
the release of hot air and moisture from the lower oven. Blocking
or covering lower oven vent will cause poor air circulation,
affecting cooking and cleaning results.

off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will
turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.
Depending on the model, the convect fan and element may
operate during the Bake mode.

Before baking or roasting, position 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.
Depending on the model, the convection fan and element may
operate during the Bake mode.
