Rack Positions; Oven Vent; Oven Bottom; Oven Racks - Jenn-Air ELECTRIC DOWNDRAFT SLIDE-IN RANGE Use & Care Manual

Oven Fan
A convection fan (select models) is used to circulate hot air in
the oven when the convection feature is selected.
Important: The convection fan will automatically stop when
the oven door is opened.

Oven Vent

The oven vent is incorporated into the downdraft ventilation
system on the cooking surface.
When the oven is in use, the area near the oven vent may
become hot enough to cause burns. For best baking results,
do not block the vent opening.
Oven Light
The oven light automatically comes on when
the door is opened. When the door is closed,
press the Oven Light pad to turn the oven
light on and off. A beep will sound every time
the Oven Light pad is pressed. If the oven light is on when the
door is opened, the light will go off when the door is closed.

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.

Oven Racks

CAUTION
• Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven
is hot.
• Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.
