Before Setting Oven Controls
OVEN VENT
[i ]
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.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when adjusting the oven racks.
Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and
may cause burns.
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.

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on oven rack positions 1 & 4 (Refer to Figs. 2 &
5). When using a single oven rack, place cookware on oven rack position 2 or 3 (Refer to Figs. 2 & 6).
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.
