Oven Fan

A cooling fan will automatically turn on during all broiling and some baking operations. It is used to keep internal parts on the control panel cool. The fan will automatically turn off when parts have cooled. The fan may continue to operate after the oven has been turned off. This is normal.

Oven Vent

When the oven is in use the area near the vent may become hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening.

The oven vent is located at the rear of the cooking surface.

OVEN VENT LOCATION

Do not place plastics near the vent opening as heat from the vent could distort or melt the plastic.

Oven Light

Press the Oven Light switch on the control panel to turn the oven light on and off. The oven light is only activated by this switch.

Oven Bottom

Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Do not place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven bottom.

Oven Racks

CAUTION

•Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven is hot.

•Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.

To remove:

1. Pull rack straight out until it stops at the lock-stop position.

To replace:
