The oven vent

Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent located in lower part of backguard. The vent is needed for air circula- tion. Do not block the vent. Poor baking/ roasting 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 could become hot enough to burn the user and to melt plastics. Use pot holders to move pans.
