Some models are equipped with a blower which runs in baking and
self-cleaning mode to keep all internal components at a cool temperature. The blower
may keep running even if the oven has been turned off, until the components have
cooled down.
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented
through its upper front frame
. When the oven is on, warm air is re-
leased through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and
good baking results.

Air Circulation in the Oven
If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, stagger cookware
as shown.
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 circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
