14 BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS IMPORTANT Your Electrolux wall oven has many features that allow you to customize the way your oven works. Take time to read this section for important safety information and to become familiar with the many menu option settings starting on page 16. 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 aluminum foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal. CAUTION Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns. Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish. To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity. Types of Oven Rack flat oven rack Air Fry tray Figure 1: Oven vent glide rack WARNING Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil or any other material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and possibly cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. During self clean, temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil. Figure 2: Oven rack types • Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions. • The fully extendable glide rack makes food preparation easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall. See glide rack instructions on next page.
