Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through the rear vent
located through the cooktop under the
vent grille. Do not block this vent when
cooking in the oven-it is important that
the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh
air to the oven burner be uninterrupted.
Avoid touching the vent openings or
nearby surfaces during oven or broiler
operation--they may become hot.
_ Handles of pots end pans on the
cooktop may become hot if left too close
to the vent.
Do not leave plastic items on the
cooktop-they may melt if left too close
to the vent.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop.
The hot air from the vent may ignite
flammable items and will increase
pressure in closed containers, which may
cause them to burst.
Metal items will become very hot if they
are left on the cooktop, and couid cause
burns.
