BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven vent location Type of oven racks The oven vent is located under the backguard in the rear of the cooktop. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. While the oven is in operation, it is normal for steam or moisture to appear near the vent. Do not block oven vent. oven vent offset oven rack flat handle oven rack glide rack Figure 7: 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. IMPORTANT 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. All oven racks should be removed before a clean operation. Racks left in the oven during the high heat of the clean function can easily discolor. The ability of the racks to easily slide in and out along the rack positions may also be affected. 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. • The fully extendable oven glide rack allows you to effortlessly extend your food away from the oven. 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. 12
