!. Oven Vent (ceramic glass model)
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air
circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set
plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the
oven vent.
On coil element models, the element can be used when the oven
is in use as long as the cookware does not extend more than 1 in.
(2.5 cm) over the element.
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.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired
temperature setting. The OVEN ON and OVEN HEATING
lights will turn on and the set temperature
will appear in the
display for 5 seconds.
On some models, set the oven selector to BAKE and turn the
oven temperature control knob to the desired temperature
setting. The OVEN ON indicator light will turn on and will turn
off once the oven is preheated.
Place food in oven.
The bake and roasting elements will turn on and off to keep
the oven temperature
at the setting. The OVEN ON indicator
light(s) will turn on and off with the elements.
Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF when finished.
On some models, turn both the oven selector and oven
temperature control knob to OFR The OVEN ON indicator
