Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the backguard in the rear of
the cooktop. 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. While the oven is in
operation, it is normal for steam or moisture to appear near
the vent. Do not block oven vent.
Type 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 addi-
tional step down positions from the standard flat rack
design. The offset design positions the base of the rack
about ½ of a rack position lower than the flat rack and
may be used in most oven rack positions.
•
The fully extendable oven
glide rack
allows you to
effortlessly extend your food away from the oven.
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.

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.
Remove all oven racks and clean according to instruc-
tions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of this
manual. Never pick up hot oven racks or parts.
All oven racks should be removed before a
clean
opera-
tion. Racks left in the oven during the high heat of the
clean function can easily discolor. The ability of the racks
to easily slide in and out along the rack positions may
also be affected.
