Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located
under the left side of the control
panel
(Figure
16). Do not block
oven vent. When
the oven is on, warm
air passes through
this vent. This venting
is necessary
for proper
air circulation
in the oven and good
baking
results.
It is normal
for steam or moisture
to appear
near the oven vent. Some
models
are equipped
with a cooling
fan that runs during
the
cooking
process
to cool internal
electronic
components.
It is
normal
for this fan to continue
to run for an extended
period
of
time, even when the oven is off.

Always
use pot holders
or oven mitts when
using the oven. When
cooking,
the oven interior
and exterior,
oven racks and cooktop
will become
very hot which can cause
burns. Do not use aluminum
foil to line the oven bottom.
Only
use aluminum
foil as recommended
in this manual.
Improper
installation
of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or
fire.
Removing,
replacing,
and arranging
flat or offset
oven racks:
To arrange
- Always
arrange
the oven racks when the oven is
cool (prior
to operating
the oven).
To remove
- Pull the oven rack straight
forward
until it reaches
the stop position.
Lift up front of oven rack slightly
and slide out.
To replace
- Place the oven rack on the rack guides
on both
sides of oven walls.
Tilt the front of oven rack upward
slightly
and slide the oven rack back into place.
Be sure oven racks are
level before
using the oven.
Types of Oven Racks
nat
han
The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking
needs.
The offset oven rack (on some models)
is designed
to place
the
base of the rack about
1/2 of a rack position
lower than flat oven
racks. This design allows several additional
positions
between
the
flat rack positions.
To maximize
oven cooking
space place the bottom
oven rack (on
some models)
in the lowest
rack position
for roasting
large cuts of
meat.
