LowerOven

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.

Oven Vent

Location

Each oven is vented at the top of the control panel (see 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.

use oven mitts when using the oven.

the rack back into place.

 

 

 

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

1 Oven Rack

 

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.
