AIR CIRCULATION IN THE OVEN
If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple
racks, stagger cookware as shown.
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4"
(5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation
and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other,
the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot
air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the
oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Oven vents location
The upper and lower ovens
are vented at the back of
the cooktop. When an oven
is on, warm air is released
through its vent. This venting
is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and
good baking results. DO
NOT BLOCK OVEN VENTS.
Never close off the openings
with aluminium foil or any
other material.
