Before Setting Oven Controls
OVEN VENT
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located below the backguard (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on,
warm air is released through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK THE VENT.
Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To
replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack
upward and slide the rack back into place.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

Oven Racks
Your range is equipped with one or more Flat Oven Rack(s). Place the Oven
Rack(s) into the positions shown in Fig. 2. See the Recommended Rack
Positions in the chart above.
Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack
positions 1 & 4 (See Figs. 2 & 4). For best results when using a single oven Flat Rack,
place cookware on rack position 2 or 3 (See Figs. 2 & 5).
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 be able
to circulate around the pans and
cookware in the oven for even heat
to reach around the food.
