Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel
(Figure 7). 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. Moisture or steam may appear
near the oven vent; this is normal. Do not block oven vent.

Protective Liners -- Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom, oven wall, or any racks. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper instal-
lation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
_E__ Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior,
oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.
Be sure to remove all oven racks and accessories
before starting a self clean cycle.
Important: Always remove racks before starting a self clean
cycle. Porcelain racks may be left in the oven during the self
clean cycle, however removing them prior to the self clean is
suggested.
Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven racks
• 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 the oven.
To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the oven).
Types of Oven Racks

Using the oven racks
The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (on some models) is designed to place the
base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than flat
oven racks. This design allows several additional positions
between the flat rack positions and is also recommended when
broiling certain foods to allow extra space between the food
and the broil element.
To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack
(on some models) in the lowest rack position for roasting large
cuts of meat.
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back
of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the
cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
