Before Setting Oven Controls - Electrolux Frigidaire Professional Series Use & Care Manual

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.
Figure 7: Do not block oven vent
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, oven
racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.
WARNING
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other
material to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil
as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
IMPORTANT
All oven racks should be removed before a clean opera-
tion. Racks left in the oven during the high heat of the
clean function can easily discolor. The ability of the racks
to easily slide in and out along the rack positions may
also be affected. Remove all oven racks and clean
according to instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning
section of this manual. Never pick up hot oven racks or
parts.

Oven rack types
Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs
and may be placed in most oven rack positions.
The offset oven rack (some models) provides addi-
tional step down positions from the standard flat rack
design. The offset design positions the base of the rack
about ½ of a rack position lower than the flat rack and
may be used in most oven rack positions. To maximize
oven cooking space, place the bottom oven rack in the
lowest rack position for baking or roasting large cuts of
meat.
The fully extendable glide rack makes food preparation
easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the
rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing
the sides of the oven wall.
