Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location | Removing and Replacing Oven Racks |
The oven is vented through the right rear coil element. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent(s). This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT block the vent(s). Doing so may cause cooking failures, fire or damage to the appliance.
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.
