A
A. Oven vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent
will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt
or burn near the oven vent.
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow
manufacturer's recommendations and use the bakeware size
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.

ULTRABAKE
TM
Temperature Management System
The ULTRABAKE
TM
system electronically regulates the oven heat
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature
range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil burners
cycle on and off in intervals. This feature is automatically
activated when the oven is in use.
• When using the oven for the first time, it is necessary to light
the surface burners first to purge air from the gas lines.
• Do not try to light the oven burner during a power failure.
• Do not place food or bakeware directly on oven door or oven
bottom.
To Bake or Roast:
Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless recommended in the recipe.

Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pad to enter a
