BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

OVEN VENT LOCATION

See illustration for

Upper & Lower Oven Vents

venting location of

 

each oven. When

 

the oven is on,

 

warm air is released

 

through the vent.

 

This venting is

 

necessary for proper

 

air circulation in

 

the oven and good

 

baking results. DO

 

NOT block the vent.

 

Doing so may cause

 

cooking failures, fire

 

or damage to the

 

appliance.

ARRANGING LOWER OVEN RACKS

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

To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift

up front of rack and slide

out.

To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

AIR CIRCULATION IN THE OVEN

If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, stagger cookware as shown.

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 circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Single Oven Rack

Multiple Oven Racks

NOTE

Always use caution when removing food from the oven.
