BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented as shown. 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 vent, doing this may cause damage to the unit or cause a fire.
CAUTION
Some models are equipped with a blower which runs in baking and
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’’ to 4" (5,1cm to 10,2cm) 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.
