Theovenvent
Oven vent Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent located at the back of the cooktop.
Do not block the vent. Poor baking can result.
Burn Hazard
When the oven is ON, pans and pan handles left near the oven vent can become hot enough to burn the user and to melt plastics. Use potholders to move pans. Never store plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent, or any of the surface units.
