Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven Vent Location This range has a fan that will turn “ON” and “OFF” by itself to keep the electronics cool. It may continue to run after the range has been turned “OFF”, but may also stop immediately and then turn “ON” after a while.

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located at right side of the front panel and visible when the oven door is open. 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

Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool (Prior to operating the oven). Always use oven mitts when the oven is hot.

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 be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
