BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven Vent Location Type of oven rack The oven is vented in the rear of the cooktop behind the burner grates. When the oven is on, hot 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. • Flat handle racks are used for all cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions. oven vent rear of cooktop Figure 7: Do not block oven vent location Ladder Racks and Supports 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 8: Install ladder racks securely on ladder rack supports making sure that the hook end of the ladder racks are close to the top of the oven cavity. 1. Place the ladder racks hook side up into the support brackets located on the sides of the oven (Figure 8). 2. Place oven racks into desired positions. Note: To aid installation and movement of racks, apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the sides of the oven racks that contact the ladder supports. 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. Remove all oven racks and clean according to instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of this manual. Never pick up hot oven racks or parts. Important: Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other parts of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter heat distribution and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self clean the oven temperatures will be hot enough to melt foil. 15

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven Vent Location

The oven is vented in the rear of the cooktop behind the

burner grates. When the oven is on, hot 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.

Ladder Racks and Supports

1. Place the ladder racks hook side up into the support

brackets located on the sides of the oven (

Figure 8

2. Place oven racks into desired positions.

Note: To aid installation and movement of racks, apply a

thin layer of cooking oil to the sides of the oven racks that

contact the ladder supports.

Type of oven rack

•

Flat handle racks

are used for all cooking needs and

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: Protective Liners

— Do not use aluminum foil

to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recom-

mended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners

may result in risk of electric shock or fire. Do not line the

oven walls, racks, bottom or any other parts of the range

with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter heat distribution and

may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During

self clean the oven temperatures will be hot enough to melt

foil.

tions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of this
