Before Setting Oven

Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on, warm
air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for
proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do
not block oven vent. Never close off the openings with
aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may
appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

-
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil
or any other material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls,
racks or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat
distribution, produce poor baking results, and possibly cause
permanent damage to the oven interior. 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, oven exterior,
oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.
- To prevent possible damage to the oven, do
not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are
fully positioned back inside the oven cavity
Types of oven racks

Figure 7: Oven rack types

may be placed in most oven rack positions.

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.
