Before Setting Oven Controls
Arranging Oven Racks & Roasting Shelf
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL
(PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when
using the oven.
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 be able to circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for
even heat to reach around the food.

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven
Racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven
racks, place cookware on rack positions 3 & 6 (See
Fig. 4). For best results when using a single oven
Flat Rack, place cookware on rack position 4 (See
Fig. 5).
Oven Racks
Your range is equipped with one or more Flat
Oven Rack(s). Place the rack(s) into the positions
shown in Fig. 2. See the Recommended Rack
Positions in the chart above.
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the left rear surface element (See
Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air passes through the vent. This
venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.
Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide
out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front
of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.
