placing food on them.

Oven Vents

The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of the cooktop. See Features section. Do not block

•Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too dose to the vent.

Oven	Moisture
As your	oven	heats	up,	the temperature			change	of
the air in the		oven	may	cause	water droplets to
form on	the door glass. These droplets					are harmless
and will	evaporate		as the oven		continues		to heat	up.

Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf supports for baking and roasting as shown in this

illustration--A (bottom), B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special low shelf position (R) for roasting extra large items, such as

a large turkey--the shelf

is not designed to slide out at this position. The shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the Baking and Roasting sections.
