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.
Fig. 1	Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Types of Oven Racks & Roasting Shelf

Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack types shown; Flat Oven 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 and 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 Flat Oven Rack, place cookware on rack position 2 or 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		Fig. 8
