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. Steam or moisture may appear
near the oven vent; this is normal. Do not block oven vent:

_'__1 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.
__[I Protective Liners: Do aluminum foil
not use to
line the oven bottom, oven walls or oven racks. Doing so will
alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results and may
cause permanent damage to the oven interior.
_lOnly use aluminum foil as recommended in this
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of
electric shock, or fire.
_1 Move and arrange oven racks while the oven is
cool. Always use oven mitts when working with a hot oven to
avoid potential burns.
Types of Oven Racks
flat handle
_ bottom oven
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.
To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack
(on some models) in the lowest rack position for roasting large
cuts of meat.
Important note: Always remove racks before starting a self
clean cycle.
Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven racks:
• 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 the oven.
