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 the oven vent.
Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is
normal.
Types of Oven Racks
• 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 a
half rack position lower than the flat rack and may be
used in most oven rack positions.
• The bottom oven rack (some models) allows you to
maximize oven cooking space by using the lowest rack
position for baking or roasting large cuts of meat.
• The
“Effortless™ Oven Rack System” is described on
page 17.
Arranging, Removing, and Replacing 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.

Completely remove all oven racks and any cooking
accessories from the oven before performing a self clean
function in order to avoid damage to the racks. If oven
racks are not removed before a self clean, they will lose
their special coating and will no longer slide in and out of
the oven cavity effortlessly.
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.Remove all racks and accessories prior to starting
a self clean cycle.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other
parts of the range 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.
