Before Setting Oven Controls
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when the oven is hot.
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located below the
backguard. When the oven is on, hot air is released through the vents. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Removing and 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 the front
of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.
Arranging Oven Racks
To bake on a single rack, place the rack in position 4. To bake on 2 racks, place the racks in positions 2 and 4. To bake on 3 racks, place the racks in positions 1,3 and 5. Use the 6th rack position (Roasting Shelf) for roasting large food items only.

For best air circulation and baking results allow
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
