This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK THE VENT. Fig. 1 Always use pot holders or oven mitts when adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns. Removing & Replacing Oven Racks To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops.
