Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented through its upper front frame. 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 oven vent.
Oven Vent
_J__ Some
models are equipped
with a blower which
runs in baking and
self-cleaning mode
to keep all internal
components at a cool
temperature. The
blower may keep run-
ning even if the oven
has been turned ofl:_
until the components
have cooled down.
Arranging Oven Racks
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 cause burns.
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" (5-10
cm) around the cool<ware for proper air circulation and be
sure pans and cool<ware 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.
