Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven vent location

The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel
(Figure 6). 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. Do not block oven vent:

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior,
oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in
risk of electric shock, or fire
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.
Type of oven racks
flat oven rack
bottom oven
rack
Figure 7:
The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (on some models) is designed to place the
base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than flat
oven racks. This design allows several additional positions
between the flat rack positions.
To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack
(on some models) in the lowest rack position for roasting large
cuts of meat.
