Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion.
Vent appearance and location vary.
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range, under the warming drawer, storage drawer or kick panel (depending on the model).
