INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW • Be sure all packing material is removed from oven before turning on. • Oven vent location - The oven vent is located at the right side of the front panel between the Microwave Drawer and oven. This area could become hot during oven use. It is normal for steam to come out of the vent. The vent is important for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Never block this vent. • Do not use oven for storing food or cookware. OVEN COOKING Oven Vent BEFORE USING OVEN REMOVING AND REPLACING OVEN RACKS The standard rack has stops so that when placed correctly on the supports it will stop before coming completely out and will not tilt. To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift front of rack up and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place. Directions for removing and replacing the EZ Pull rack are packed with it. Read instructions completely and save. AIR CIRCULATION IN THE OVEN Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack #1 and two layers on rack #3. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other. For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4 inches around the cookware and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food. ALUMINUM FOIL Do not place aluminum foil on the oven bottom. It is not recommended to use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. If you would like to use it to make cleaning easier, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid. Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan, and then the juices could become hot enough to catch on fire.
