BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven Vent Location

The oven is vented as shown. 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.

CAUTION

Some models are equipped with a blower which runs in baking and self-cleaning mode to keep all internal components at a cool temperature. The blower may keep running even if the oven has been turned off, until the components have cooled down.

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’’ to 4" (5,1cm to 10,2cm) 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

Arranging 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.
