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.

WARNING
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or
any other material or liners to line the oven bot-
tom, walls, racks or any other part of the range.
Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce
poor baking results, and possibly cause perma-
nent damage to the oven interior. Improper instal-
lation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock or fi re. During self clean, temperatures in
the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
CAUTION
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.
Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean
cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during
a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks
may be damaged and all of the oven racks will
lose their shiny fi nish.
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.

Removing, Replacing, and Arranging
Oven Racks
Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is
cool.
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.
