Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air passes through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.

	Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
	To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide
	out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front
Fig. 1	of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Arranging Oven Racks & Roasting Shelf

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

Types of Oven Racks & Roasting Shelf

Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack types shown; Flat Rack (Fig. 5) and Roasting Shelf (Fig. 6; some models). To maximize cooking space the Roasting Shelf should be used in the lowest rack position to roast large cuts of meat & poultry (See Fig. 2).

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 1 & 4 (See Fig. 7). For best results when using a single oven Flat Rack, place cookware on rack position 3 (See Fig. 8).

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		Fig. 8
even heat to reach around the food.	Fig. 7
