BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located

passes through the vent. This venting is necessary for
proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Do not block the oven vent.

The
flat oven rack
(some models) or
flat handle oven
rack
(some models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The
offset oven rack
(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 postions.
To maximize oven cooking space place the
bottom oven
rack
(some models) in the lowest rack position for baking
and when roasting large cuts of meat.
