Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located below the backguard (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air is released through this vent. This venting is necessary for
proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK THE VENT.

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks | OvenRack | OvenRack |
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on oven rack positions 1 & 4 (Refer to Figs. 2 & 3). When using a single oven rack, place cookware on oven rack position 2 or 3 (Refer to Figs. 2 & 4).
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking results allow
or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must be able to circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
