Oven vent location

The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel (Fig. 1). When the oven is heating, warm air passes through this vent. The venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven which provides good baking results. Do not block the oven vent.

Always use oven mitts to protect hands from possible burns when using the oven or cooktop. The oven, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot.

IMPORTANT

Do not remove or attempt to arrange oven racks with cookware still on the racks. To avoid damaging cookware or spilling food items, always remove any cookware first.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven rack stop

Most oven racks slide on rack guides provided along the oven cavity sides. The rack guides are curved near the front of each guide. The curve will catch and hold the oven rack stable into a stop position when an oven rack is extended straight out from the oven.

For better access to food items in the oven, slowly pull the oven rack straight out to the oven rack stop position (Fig.

3)before checking on food items or removing food dishes from the oven.

Removing, replacing & arranging most oven racks types

Arranging - always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).

To remove - Pull the

until it reaches the stop
position. Tilt up front of

To replace - Rest the oven rack evenly between a left and right front guide along the oven walls so that the oven rack rests level. Tilt front of rack upward and slide rack in past the stop position. Then bring the rack to a level position and slide the rack completely inside oven (Fig. 5).
