Before Setting oven controls

Oven vent location

The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.

Do not block oven vent.

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.

Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven racks

To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).

To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.

To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.

Oven Rack Descriptions

•Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.

•The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional step down positions from the standard flat rack design. The offset design positions the base of the rack about half of a rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in most oven rack positions.

Air circulation in the oven

For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2 inches (5 cm) around the bakeware for proper air circulation. Be sure pans and bakeware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides, or back of the oven cavity.

Hot air must be able to circulate around bakeware for even heat to reach the food.
