Upperand
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.

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.
