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 vent. 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.

Air Circulation in the Oven

If you plan to bake only one food item using one rack, place in center of oven. If baking 2 food items using only one rack space the items on the rack as shown in Fig. 1.

Fig.1 - using one oven rack

If you place 3 or more food items on more than one rack, stagger the cookware as shown in Fig. 2.

For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure 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.
