Oven Vent and Racks

Upper Oven Vent Location

Oven Vent LocationCAUTION Some models are equipped with a blower which runs in baking and self-cleaning mode to keep all internal components at a cool temperature. The blower may keep running even if the oven has been turned off, until the components have cooled down. On 30” double wall ovens, the blower in both ovens will start when using one of the ovens in self-clean mode.

Oven Vent Location

Each oven is vented at its upper front frame. 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.

Air Circulation in the Oven

If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, 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.
