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.

OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
Removing &Replacing Oven Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and

results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the cookwa re for proper ai rcirculation
and be sure pans and cookware do not
touch each other, the oven door, sides

must be able to circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for
