Oven Bottom
The oven bottom conceals the lower heating element. As a result the element is protected from damage and spills.
Tip: Do not place food directly on the oven bottom.
WARNING: Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
NOTICE: Do not place broil pan on the oven bottom to catch spills. Doing so will damage the oven bottom porcelain.
WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Oven Vent
The oven vent is located along the top and bottom of the unit. Warm air may be released from the vent before, during and after cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping from the vent and condensation may collect. This area may be warm when the oven is in use. Do not block the vent since it is important for air circulation.
Cooling Fan
The cooling fan runs based on the oven temperature. Warm air may be felt as it is released from the oven vents while the fan operates. The fan may also operate after the oven is off.
Convection Fan
The convection fan operates during all convection modes. When the oven is operating in a convection mode, the fan turns off automatically when the door is opened.
