BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven vent location

Each oven has its own vent as shown below (Figure
1). 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 OVEN VENT. Never close off the openings with
aluminium foil or any other material.

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 (Figure 4).
To replace an oven rack, fi t the rack onto the guides
on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and
slide the rack back into place.

Air circulation in the oven

If using 1 rack (Figure 2), place in center of oven. If using
multiple racks (Figure 3), stagger cookware as shown.
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 circulate around the pans and cookware in the
oven for even heat to reach around the food.
