Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the control panel. 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 oven vent. Never close off the
openings with aluminum foil or any other material. Steam or
moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
The Cooling Fan
The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is expelled
through the vents between the oven door and the control
panel, as shown in
Figure 8
.
Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Racks
This appliance comes with two flat 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.

Air Circulation in the Oven
The rack has a special shape in the rear which helps with
the heat circulation.
Do not push the baking tray all the way to the back wall of
the cavity. This prevents the heat from circulating around
the tray. The food may be burnt, especially in the rear part
of the tray.
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2
inches (5 cm) around the cookware for proper air circula-
tion. 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 cookware for even
heat to reach the food.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, oven
racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.
