The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Baking and Roasting

Do not place food or cookware directly on the oven door or the oven bottom.

Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and grid pull out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler and oven doors closed.

To avoid damage to the broiler, do not step on or apply weight to the broiler door while it is open.

Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler door during broiling.

Do not use broiler drawer for storage.

Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance. It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.

For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to prevent curling.
