Before Setting Oven Controls
OVEN VENT
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air passes through the vent. This
venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.
Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
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
Fig. 1 | the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place. |

Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE OVEN). Refer to Fig. 2. Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

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 may cause burns.
Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack types shown; Flat Rack (Fig. 3), Flat Handle Rack (Fig. 4) and the Offset Rack (Fig. 5).
Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 (Flat Oven Rack or Flat Handle Oven Rack) & 5 with the Offset Oven Rack (some models; See Fig. 6). For best results when using a single oven rack, place cookware on rack positions 3 or 4 (See Fig. 7).
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking results allow
pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
