BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located at center rear of cooktop
below the control panel (See Fig. 1). 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.
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and 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 the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.

To remove - pull the rack
forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out.
To replace - fit the rack
onto the guides on the oven
walls. Tilt the front of the
rack upward and slide the
rack back into place.
Arranging - always arrange
the oven racks when the
oven is cool (prior to
operating the oven).

oven rack
The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than
normal. This rack design provides several additional
possible positions between the standard positions.
Removing, replacing & arranging racks
Operating oven light (some models)
The interior oven light will automatically turn ON when the
oven door is opened. Press the oven light switch located on
the control panel to turn the interior oven light ON and OFF
whenever the oven door is closed.
Always use oven mitts when using the oven. When
using the appliance, the oven interior, oven racks and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
CAUTION
The interior oven light is located at the upper left rear wall
of the oven interior. To change the interior oven light, see
"Changing the oven light" in the Care & cleaning section.
