Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on,
warm air is released through the vent. This venting is
necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close off the
openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or
moisture may appear near the oven vent; this is normal.
Note: Some models are equipped with a cooling fan that
runs during the cooking process to cool internal electronic
components. It is normal for this fan to continue to run for
an extended period of time, even when the oven is off.
Type of oven racks
Oven Rack Descriptions
• Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be
used for most cooking needs and may be placed in
most oven rack positions.
• The offset oven rack (some models) provides addi-
tional step down positions from the standard flat rack
design. The offset design positions the base of the rack
about ½ of a rack position lower than the flat rack and
may be used in most oven rack positions.
Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset
oven racks
To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the oven).
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it
reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly
and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on
both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward
slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure
oven racks are level before using.
Figure 1: Do not block oven vent location
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 or any other
materials to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or any part
of the oven. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in
this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock or fire.
All oven racks should be removed before a Self Clean
operation. Racks left in the oven during the high heat of
the Self Clean function can easily discolor. The ability of
the racks to easily slide in and out along the rack
positions may also be affected.
