OVEN AIR VENTS
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They
provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the
range to keep cool and operate properly with correct
combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at
the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom
of the range.
ALUMINUM FOIL AND OVEN LINERS
CAUTION
Do not use any type of foil or oven
liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap
heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk
of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of
these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on
a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use
more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an
oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2"
from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
OVEN RACKS
Partial Extension Oven Racks
CAUTION
To avoid possible burns, place the
racks in the correct position before turning on the oven.
The correct rack position depends on the kind of food
and the browning desired.
The racks have a frame that locks into the rack supports
on both sides. Once the frame is locked into place,
always pull the rack out, by its upper front rail, to its
partial extension stop position, when placing or removing
cookware.
Remove and Replace Oven Racks
To remove a rack:
1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the oven.
2. Grasp the rack by both its upper front rail and its lower
front rail and lift straight up to unlock the front rack locks
from the rack supports.
