Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the
control panel (See Fig. 1). When the oven is heating,
warm air passes through this vent. This venting is
necessary for proper air circulation in the oven which helps
to provide good baking results. Do not block the oven
vent.
Always use oven mitts to protect hands from possible
burns when using the oven or cooktop. The oven, oven
racks and cooktop will become very hot.
Oven racks
Do not remove or attempt to arrange oven racks with
cookware still on the racks. To avoid damaging cookware
or spilling food items, always remove any cookware first.
IMPORTANT
rack
guides
Fig. 3
Most oven racks slide on rack guides provided along the
oven cavity sides. The rack guides are curved near the front
of each guide. The curve will catch and hold the oven rack
stable into a stop position when an oven rack is extended
straight out from the oven.
For better access to food items in the oven, slowly pull the
oven rack straight out to the oven rack stop position (Fig.
3) before checking on food items or removing food dishes
from the oven.
To remove - Pull the
oven rack straight out
until it reaches the stop
position. Tilt up front of
oven rack to slide past the
stop position and pull the
rack out of the oven cavity
(Fig. 4).
