BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the control panel.
When the oven is on, warm air passes through this
vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circu-
lation in the oven and good baking results. Do not
block oven vent. Never close off the openings with
aluminum foil or any other material. Steam or mois-
ture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
The Cooling Fan
The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is
expelled through the vents between the oven door
and the control panel, as shown in
Figure 8: Oven vent location
Removing, Replacing, and Arranging
Racks
This appliance comes with two flat racks.
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.
Figure 9: Removing, replacing, and arranging
racks
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual. Improper installa-
tion of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock or fire.
To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when
the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until
it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven
rack slightly and slide out.
Figure
8.
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.
Flat Oven Rack
Figure 10: Flat oven rack
Air Circulation in the Oven
The rack has a special shape in the rear which helps
with the heat circulation.
Do not push the baking tray all the way to the
back wall of the cavity. This prevents the heat from
circulating around the tray. The food may be burnt,
especially in the rear part of the tray.
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space
of 2 inches (5 cm) around the cookware for proper
air circulation. Be sure pans and cookware do not
touch each other, the oven door, sides, or back of
the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around cookware
for even heat to reach the food.
