Using Your Range
Continued
The ovenvent
Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent just under the backguard. The vent is needed for air circulation. Do not block the vent. Poor bakingkoasting will result.
NOTE: Never store plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent, or any of the surface burners.
Burn Hazard
When the oven is ON, pans and pan handles left near the oven vent can become hot enough to burn the user and to melt plastics. Use potholders to move pans.
