OVENVENT

Fig. 1

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located below the backguard (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air is released through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK THE VENT.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns.

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on oven rack positions 2 & 5 (Refer to Figs. 2 & 3). When using a single oven rack, place cookware on oven rack position 3 or 4 (Refer to Fig.s 2 & 4).

Air Circulation

in the Oven

 

 

For best air circulation and baking

 

 

results allow 2-4"

(5-10 cm) 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 be able

 

 

to circulate around the pans and

 

 

cookware in the oven for even heat
