Before Setting Oven Controls - Kenmore 790.4500series Use & Care Manual

Before Setting Oven Controls

This range has a fan that will turn "ON" and "OFF" by itself to keep the electronics cool. It may
continue to run after the range has been turned "OFF", but may also stop immediately and then turn "ON" after
a while.
Cooktop and Oven Vent Location
The cooktop and the oven are vented through its upper
front frame. When the cooktop of the oven is on, hot air
is released through the vents. This venting is necessary
for proper air circulation 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.

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.
