Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel
(Figure 12). 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 to come
from the vent or for moisture to appear around the vent during
the cooking process. Do not block oven vent:
Figure 12: Oven vent location
_ 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.
Protective Liners -- Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in
risk of electric shock, or fire
Important note: Before starting a self clean, be sure to remove
all oven racks and accessories from the oven.
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.
Air circulation in the oven
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2 inches
(5 cm) around the bakeware for proper air circulation. Be sure
pans and bakeware do not touch each other, the oven door,
sides, or back of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around bakeware for even
heat to reach the food.

Figure 13: Variety of 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.
To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack
(on some models) in the lowest rack position for roasting large
cuts of meat.
