Oven vent location
The oven vent is located near the back of the cooktop.
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. It is normal for steam or
moisture to appear. Do not block oven vent.
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.
Types of oven racks
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
step down positions from the standard flat rack design.
The offset rack 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.
Air circulation in the oven
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2-4
inches (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circu-
lation. 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 cookware for even
heat to reach the food.
Figure 5: Do not block oven vent location
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, oven
racks and cook top will become very hot which can cause
burns. Remove all racks before starting a self clean cycle.
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom, sides, or racks - this will alter heat distribu-
tion producing poor baking results and could cause
permanent damage to the oven interior. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock or fire.
