Oven Vent and Racks

Some models are equipped with a blower

internal components at a cool temperature. The blower

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.
