Oven Vent(s) A B C D E F G Single and Double Oven A. Control panel B. Oven vent C. Single oven or upper double oven G. Bottom vent Double Oven D. Upper oven E. Oven vent F. Lower oven G. Bottom vent The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they allow the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the bottom vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air from the cooling system. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning and cooling results. Cooking Functions 1. Press the button for one of following options for the desired oven: Bake, Broil, Convect, Keep Warm and Favorite. On double oven models, Convect and Favorite are only available on the upper oven. 2. If Convection is desired, select Convect, then select Convect Bake, Convect Roast or Convect Broil. A prompt to convert standard recipe for conversion will be displayed. Follow the prompt on the screen. When necessary, the oven will convert the time and/or temperature you entered. 3. Select the temperature.
