comes out through the exhaust slot at the bottom of the oven. Do not block or

 

cover the air intake or exhaust slots.

CMeat Probe Connector When you use the meat probe, insert the skewer into the meat and plug the other end into this connector. See the Using the Meat Probe section on page 17 for proper operation. On double ovens, only the upper oven is equipped with a meat probe connector.

DOven LightsThere are two oven lights inside the oven chamber so that you can easily see the food inside. Press the light key on the control panel to turn them on. The bulbs are 12 volt, 20 watt, halogen.

ERack Supports There are six sets of rack supports inside each oven chamber. They support the adjustable oven racks. They are numbered from the bottom up.

FDoor GasketThe door gasket prevents heat from escaping when the door is closed.

GSelf-Clean Latch The self-clean latch automatically locks the oven door during the self-clean cycle. The door latches for your safety. There are very high temperatures inside the oven during the self-clean cycle.

HBroil Elements The broil elements are located on the ceiling of the oven chamber. On some models, they are hidden behind a glass panel. They are the source of top heat.

JConvection Fan* The convection fan blows heated air into the oven chamber during the convection cooking process. The convection filter covers it.

KConvection Element* The convection element heats the air that is blown into the oven chamber by the convection fan during the convection cooking process. The convection filter covers it.

LConvection Filter* The convection filter covers the convection fan. It helps prevent the transfer of taste from one food to another when you are cooking a whole meal. It also keeps the oven cleaner and covers the moving fan blades for safety purposes.

MOven RackYour oven comes with one GlideRack™ oven rack and a set of standard racks. The total number of racks depends on the model.

NBake Elements Hidden below the glass panel on the floor of the oven chamber are the bake ele- ments. They are the source of bottom heat.

*Some double ovens are not equipped for convection cooking in the lower oven. These models do not have a convec- tion fan, element and filter in the bottom oven chamber.
