Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the control panel. 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.
Do not block oven vent. Doing so may cause cooking failures,
fire, or damage to the appliance. Steam or moisture may
appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Oven
Racks
Protective Liners — Do not line the oven walls,
racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil.
Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results,
and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During
self clean temperatures, the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock or fire.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well
as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.
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.
Important: Be sure to remove all oven racks and accessories
before starting a self clean cycle. If the oven racks are not
removed, they may discolor.

Oven Rack Description
Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be used for
most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack posi-
tions.
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) between the
bakeware and the right and left side of the oven cavity’s walls
for proper air circulation and be sure pans and bakeware do
not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven
cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the bakeware in
the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
