Oven Cooking
Oven Fan
A convection fan is used to circulate hot air in the oven when
the convection feature is selected.
Note: The convection fan will automatically stop when the
oven door is opened.

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 below the backguard vent
shield on your range.

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.

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 VENT
LOCATION
Do not place
plastics near the
vent opening as
heat from the vent
could distort or
melt the plastic.

Oven Racks

• Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven
is hot.
• Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.
The oven has three racks. All racks are designed with a lock-
stop edge.
To remove:
1. Pull rack straight out until it
stops at the lock-stop
position.
2. Lift up on the front of the
rack and pull out.
To replace:
1. Place rack on the rack support in the oven
2. Tilt the front end up slightly. Slide rack back until it clears
the lock-stop position.
3. Lower front and slide back into the oven.
Never cover an entire rack with aluminum foil or place
foil on the oven bottom. Baking results will be affected
and damage may occur to the oven bottom.
