Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the control
panel (See 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 oven vent.

Removing, replacing and arranging oven racks

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and
exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot
which can cause burns.
Protective Liners — DO NOT USE
ALUMINUM FOIL to line the oven bottom. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
Arranging - always arrange
the oven racks when the
oven is cool (prior to
operating the oven).

bottom
oven rack
The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack
(some models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower
than flat oven racks. This design provides several additional
possible positions between the flat rack positions.
To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven
rack (on some models) in the lowest rack position for
roasting large cuts of meat.
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 cookware in the oven for even heat to reach
around the food (See Fig. 3 ).
