Oven Vent Location

Upper & Lower Oven Vents

See illustration on left side for venting location of each oven. 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. DO NOT block the vent. Doing so may cause cooking failures, fire or damage to the appliance.

Rack Supports

To remove the oven rack support, puii up the support to disengage it from the brackets.

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" (5-10cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cool<ware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cool<ware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
