Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located below the control panel (Refer to
Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air passes through this
vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in
the oven and good baking results. Do not block the oven
vent.

Removing, replacing and arranging racks
Always use oven miffs when using the
oven. When cooking using the oven, the oven interior,
oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can
cause burns.
Arranging - always arrange
the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the
oven).
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.

Types of oven racks
flat handle
rack
oven rack _ I
offset
oven rack
The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (on some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (on some models) will place the base
of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than a flat
oven rack. This feature provides several additional possible
oven rack positions.
Air circulation in the oven
For best 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. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cool<ware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.
