Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the oven
is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary
for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Do not block oven vent. Steam or moisture may appear near the
oven vent. This is normal.
Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Oven
Racks
Protective Liners — Do not line the oven walls,
racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil.
Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results,
and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During
self clean temperatures, the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock or fire.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well
as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.
To Arrange: Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is
cool (prior to operating the oven).
To Remove: Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches
the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.
To Replace: Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides
of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and
slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level
before using.
Important: Be sure to remove all oven racks and accessories
before starting a self clean cycle. If the oven racks are not
removed, they may discolor.
Important: Some models are equipped with a cooling fan that
runs during the cooking process to cool internal electronic
components. It is normal for this fan to continue to run for an
extended period of time, even when the oven is off.
Oven Rack Descriptions
• Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be used
for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven
rack positions.
• The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional
stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design. The
offset design positions the base of the rack about 1/2 of a
rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in
most oven rack positions.
• To maximize oven cooking space, place the bottom oven
rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking or
roasting large cuts of meat.
• The fully extendable oven glide rack allows you to effort-
lessly extend your food away from the oven.
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
bakeware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
bakeware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back
of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the
bakeware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
