Before Setting Oven Controls
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. It
is normal if steam or moisture appear around the vent during
the cooking process. Do not block oven vent.
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in
risk of electric shock or fire.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well
as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.
Important note: Before using the self clean feature be sure to
remove all oven racks and accessories 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.
Types 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 additional step
down positions from the standard flat rack design. The
offset design positions the base of the rack about half of a
rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in
most oven rack positions.
Air circulation in the oven
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2 inches
(5 cm) around the bakeware for proper air circulation. Be sure
pans and bakeware do not touch each other, the oven door,
sides, or back of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around bakeware for even
heat to reach the food.
