Oven Cooking

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.

To remove:

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

2. Lift up on the front of the rack and pull out.

To replace:

1.Place rack on the rack supports in the oven

2.Tilt the front end up slightly. Slide rack back until it clears the lock-stop position.

3.Lower front and slide back into the oven.

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

OVEN VENT LOCATION

Never cover an entire rack with aluminum foil or place foil on the oven bottom. Baking results will be affected and damage may occur to the oven bottom.

Rack Positions

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
