Before Setting Oven Controls; Removing, Replacing & Arranging Racks - Frigidaire Electric Ranges Use & Care Manual

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 the oven vent.

Always use oven mitts to protect hands from possible
burns when using the oven or cooktop. The oven, oven
racks and cooktop will become very hot.

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.

is cool (prior to operating the oven).

Types of oven racks
Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven
rack styles shown.
flat handle
oven
rack
half
oven rack
The flat oven rack (some models) may be used for most
cooking needs and may be placed in most rack positions.
The flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used
for most cooking needs. May be placed in most rack
positions. Similar to the flat oven rack but comes with a
built-in handle.
The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional
stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design. The
offset design positions the base of the rack about 1/2 of a
rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in
most oven rack positions.
The half rack (some models) has a removable section to
allow for taller cooking utensils in the oven. When the
removable section is in place, the rack may be used like the
flat oven rack.
