Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel (See
Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air passes through the vent. This
venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking
results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.
Arranging Oven Racks & Roasting Shelf
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
Recommended Rack Positions for Broiling, Baking & Roasting:
Food Rack Position
Broiling hamburgers & steaks See Broil
Broiling meats, chicken or fish See Broil
Cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits 4 or 5

Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
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.

For best air circulation and 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. The hot air must be able
to circulate around the pans and
cookware in the oven for even heat
to reach around the food.
Air Circulation in the Oven
Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 3 & 5 (See Fig. 2). For best
results when using a single Flat Oven Rack, place cookware on rack position 4 or 5 (See Fig. 2).
