Oven Fan
A convection fan (select models) is used to circulate hot air in the oven when the convection feature is selected.
Important: The convection fan will automatically stop when the oven door is opened.
Oven Vent
The oven vent is located along the back edge of the cooking surface.
When the oven is in use, the area near the oven vent may become hot enough to cause burns. Do not block the vent opening for best baking results.
Oven Light
The oven light automatically comes on when the door is opened. When the door is closed, press the Oven Light pad to turn the oven light on and off. A beep will sound every time
the Oven Light pad is pressed. If the oven light is on when the door is opened, the light will go off when the door is closed.
Oven Bottom
Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Do not place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven bottom.
