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 this vent. This venting is necessary for

proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.

Do not block the oven vent.

(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.
