Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven Vent Location

The oven is vented in the center rear on the cooktop (See 

Figure 12

). 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. Steam or moisture may appear 
near the oven vent, this is normal. Do not block oven vent.

 

Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven 

racks

Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any 

other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy 
heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause 
permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt 
to the interior of the oven.

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.

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.

Important note: 

Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from 
oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks when performing 
Self Clean. If the oven racks are not removed, they may discolor.

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 
stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design. The 
offset design positions the base of the rack about 1/2 of a 
rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in 
most oven rack positions.

To maximize oven cooking space, place the bottom oven 
rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking or 
roasting large cuts of meat.

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best 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. Hot air must be able to circulate around the 
cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
