Oven Vent

A

A. Oven vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

The element can be used when the oven is in use as long as the cookware does not extend more than ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) over the element.
