VENT
Fig. 1
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

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR
TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

shelf rests over the front ends of the oven rack glides on both sides of the oven interior (See Figs. 3 & 4).
Baking
Layer
Cakes
with
1 or 2 Oven
Racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 7). For best
results when using a single oven Flat Rack, place cookware on rack position 3 or 4 (See Fig.8).
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.
