For models equipped with coiled surface elements, the oven vent is located under
the left rear surface element. When the oven is on, warm airflows through the
left rear element. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven
and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK THE OVEN VENT.

Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting. Start most cooking operations on a
higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular
setting. Use the settings as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.

glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished is an easy
check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.
