Oven Vent Location

See illustration on left side for venting location of each oven. When the oven is
on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper
air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT block the vent.
Self
Doing so may cause cooking failures, fire or damage to the appliance.
Removing & Replacing Oven
Racks
To remove an oven rack, pull the rack
forward until it stops. Lift up front of
rack and slide out.
To replace an oven rack, fit the rack
onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt
the front of the rack upward and slide
the rack back into place.

Air Circulation in the Oven

If using 1 rack, place in center of
oven. If using multiple racks, stagger
cookware as shown.
For best air circulation and baking
results allow 2-4" (5-10cm) 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 circulate around the pans and
cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.
