Oven vent location
The oven vent is located near the back of the cooktop on
the backguard and serves to vent both the upper and lower
ovens. 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. Steam or moisture may
appear near the oven vent; this is normal. Do not block
oven vent.
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 design 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.
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
Figure 8: Do not block oven vent location
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. The oven interior, exterior, oven racks and cook top
can become very hot and can cause burns.
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other
material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or
any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat
distribution, produce poor baking results and may 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. During self clean temperatures the oven will
be hot enough to melt foil.
Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle.
If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning
cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks may be damaged
and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish.To
prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to
close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully posi-
tioned back inside the oven cavity.
