Before Setting Oven Controls
Arranging the Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when the oven is hot.
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located below the backguard. When the oven is on, hot air is released through the vents. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Removing and Replacing Oven
Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.
Arranging Oven Racks
To bake on a single rack, place the rack in position 3 or 4. To bake on 2 racks, place the racks in positions 2 and 4. To bake on 3 racks, place the racks in positions 1, 3 and 5. Use the 6th rack position (Roasting Shelf) for roasting large food items only.
Air Circulation in the Oven
If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, stagger cookware as shown.
