Oven Light
Press the Oven Light switch on the control panel to
turn the oven light on and off.
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 vent
shield on your range.
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.
The oven has two racks. All racks are designed with a lock-
stop edge.
To remove:
1. Pull rack straight out until it
stops at the lock-stop
position.
2. Lift up on the front of the
rack and pull out.
To replace:
1. Place rack on the rack support in the oven
2. Tilt the front end up slightly. Slide rack back until it clears
the lock-stop position.
3. Lower front and slide back into the oven.
Never cover an entire rack with aluminum foil or place
foil on the oven bottom. Baking results will be affected
and damage may occur to the oven bottom.
