BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven Vents
The oven vent is located under the control panel of the upper
oven, and above the door handle of the lower oven. 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.
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 Racks
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.
IMPORTANT! All racks and the ladder racks supports should
be removed before a self clean. Racks left in during a self clean
may discolor and become harder to ooperate.To remove the
ladder rack support for a self clean cycle, reverse the order
used when installing the ladder rack supports.
Types of Oven Racks
Flat Oven Rack
Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be used for
most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack posi-
tions.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food or
adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven in completely
cooled if possible. Oven racks may be very hot and may cause
burns.
Always remove/replace the oven racks before turning on the
oven (when the oven is cool).
IMPORTANT! To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not
attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully
positioned back inside the oven cavity.
Clean oven racks according to the instructions provided in the
Care & Cleaning section.
Arranging, Removing, and Replacing 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 the
oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and
slide the oven rack back into place.
The Luxury-Glide™ rack has a locking mechanism that
operates differently than flat racks. See instructions on next
page for installing and removing glide rack.
