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 this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent, this is normal. Do not block the oven vent.

Removing, replacing & arranging racks

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).

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 positions between the standard postions.
To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking and when roasting large cuts of meat.
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow at least 2" (5 cm) around cookware for proper air circulation. Be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the cookware.
