Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located
below the backguard
(See Fig. 1).
When the oven is
on, warm air is released through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK THE VENT.
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.
Oven Racks
Your range is equipped with one or more
Flat Oven Rack(s)
. Place the
rack(s) into the positions shown in Fig. 2. Refer to the following
Recommended Rack Positions for Broiling, Baking & Roasting

Flat
Oven Rack
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

best results when using a single oven Flat Rack, place cookware on rack position 3 or 4 (See Figs. 3 & 5).
