OVEN VENT

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.

 

 

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when adjusting the oven racks.

 

Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and
