CAUTION Risk of injury! Do not place food directly on the oven cavity bottom. Convection fan Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time. Cooling fan The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan can be heard when it is running, and warm air may be felt as it is released from the oven vent. The fan may also run after the oven is off. Oven vent Warm air may be released from the oven vent before, during and after cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping from the vent, and condensation may collect in this area. This area may be warm when the oven is in use. CAUTION Risk of fire! The oven vents are important for air circulation. Covering the oven vents will cause the oven to overheat. Refer to the appliance overview for the location of the oven vents. → "Familiarizing yourself with your appliance", Page 11 ▶ Do not obstruct oven vents.
