BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left rear surface element (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 the oven vent.

Removing, replacing & arranging 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 of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.
Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).

Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack styles shown.

oven rack 
The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than normal. This rack design provides several additional possible locations between the standard positions.
Always use oven mitts when using the oven. When using the appliance, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
