BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the
control panel (See Fig. 1). When the oven is heating,
warm air passes through this vent. This venting is
necessary for proper air circulation in the oven which helps
to provide good baking results. Do not block the oven
vent.

CAUTION
Always use oven mitts to protect hands from possible
burns when using the oven or cooktop. The oven, oven
racks and cooktop will become very hot.
IMPORTANT
Do not remove or attempt to arrange oven racks with
cookware still on the racks. To avoid damaging cookware
or spilling food items, always remove any cookware first.

Oven rack stop
Most oven racks slide on rack guides provided along the
oven cavity sides. The rack guides are curved near the
front of each guide. The curve will catch and hold the
oven rack stable into a stop position when an oven rack is
extended straight out from the oven.
For better access to food items in the oven, slowly pull
the oven rack straight out to the oven rack stop position
(Fig. 3) before checking on food items or removing food
dishes from the oven.
