Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented at the top of the upper control panel trim. 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 wall oven.
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.
To bake on one rack, place the rack at position 2 or 3. To bake on two racks, place the racks at positions 1 and 3.
Some models have 2 flat racks. Other models have one flat rack and one offset rack. The rungs on the offset rack are slightly raised from the edges of the rack. This raised part of the rack is designed to allow easy and safe removal of foods from the lower racks of the oven and prevent hands from contacting the hot oven door. Always use the offset rack in the lower position.
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow
If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of oven.
