Oven Cooking
Oven Lights
The oven lights automatically come on whenever
an oven door is opened. When the door is closed,
press the Oven Light pad to turn the oven light
on or off. A beep will sound every time the Oven
Light pad is pressed.
Oven Bottom
Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or
sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use
the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Do not
place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven
bottom.
Oven Vent
When the oven is in use the area near the vent may become
hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening.
The oven vent is located below the backguard on your
range.
When high moisture foods are cooked in the upper oven,
steam may be visible coming from the oven vent. This is
normal.
CAUTION
Oven Racks
• Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven
is hot.
• Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.
OVEN VENT
LOCATION
Do not place
plastics near the
vent opening as
heat from the vent
could distort or
melt the plastic.
All racks are designed with a lock-stop edge.

position.

Baking and Roasting with the
RollerGlide
TM Rack (lower oven only)
Baking
• For optimal baking results when baking on one rack, use
the RollerGlide TM rack.
• When baking on two racks, use the RollerGlide TM rack in
the bottom rack position, and the flat rack in the upper rack
position.
Roasting
• When roasting large cuts of meat and poultry, use the
RollerGlide TM rack for ease of movement.
Oven Fan
A convection fan is used to circulate hot air in the oven when
the convection feature is selected. It automatically turns on
after the Convect Bake or Convect Roast pads are pressed
and will turn off when convection is canceled.
Note: The convection fans will automatically stop when
the oven door is opened.
