When an oven is on, warm air is released through its vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENTS. Never close off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. TYPES OF OVEN RACKS Your built-in range may be equipped with one or more of the oven racks styles shown; • Flat handle oven rack. • Offset oven rack. Figure 1 Flat handle oven rack AIR CIRCULATION IN THE OVEN If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, stagger cookware as shown. For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation 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.

The offset rack can be used in the lowest rack position to roast large cuts of meat and poultry or for specific type of cooking.
