continue to run after the range has been turned
while.
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located at right side of the front panel
and visible when the oven door is open. When the oven
is on, hot air is released through the vents. This venting
is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and
good baking results.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven
mitts when the oven is hot.
Figure 1
Air Circulation in the Oven
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.

Setting Oven Controls

Refer to the Electronic Oven Control Guide for oven settings.
