BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven Vent Location Type of oven racks 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. offset oven rack flat handle oven rack oven vent location Figure 1: Do not block oven vent location CAUTION 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. WARNING 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. 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 additional 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. IMPORTANT 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. 11
