Oven Vent and Racks
Oven Vent Location
ik CAUTION
I 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 compo­
nents have cooled down.
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented through the upper trim. When the oven is on, warm air is released
through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide
out.
To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of
the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

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.
