Before Setting Oven Controls

OVENVENT 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.

Arranging Oven Racks

Fig. 1 ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on oven rack positions 2 & 5 (Refer to Figs. 2 & 3).
When using a single oven rack, place cookware on oven rack position 3 or 4 (Refer to Fig.s 2 & 4).

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and baking
results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the cookware for proper air circulation
and besure pans and cookware do not
touch each other, the oven door, sides
or back of the oven cavity. The hot air
must be able to circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for
even heat to reach around the food.
