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.

Do not block the oven vent.

The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs. The Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) is described later in this section.

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.

IMPORTANT

Only the Effortless™ Oven Rack should be used in oven rack position 2. Placing any other rack in rack position 2 will prevent the oven door from fully closing.
