Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located
under the control
panel. 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.
Do not block oven vent. Steam or moisture
may appear
near the
oven vent. This is normal.

Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Oven
Racks
Protective
Liners --
Do not line the oven walls,
racks, bottom,
or any other part of the oven with aluminum
foil.
Doing
so will alter
heat distribution,
produce
poor baking
results,
and may cause permanent
damage
to the oven interior.
During
self clean temperatures,
the oven will be hot enough
to melt foil.
Only
use aluminum
foil as recommended
in this manual.
Improper
installation
of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock or fire.
Always
use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When
cooking,
the oven interior
and exterior,
as well
as the oven racks, will become
very hot which can cause burns.
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:
Be sure to remove
all oven racks and accessories
before
starting
a self clean cycle.
If the oven racks are not
removed,
they may discolor.
Important:
Some models
are equipped
with a cooling
fan that
runs during
the cooking
process to cool internal
electronic
components.
It is normal
for this fan to continue
to run for an
extended
period
of time, even when the oven is off.

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
stepdown
positions
from
the standard
flat
rack design.
The
offset
design
positions
the base of the rack about
1/2 of a
rack position
lower than the flat
rack and may be used in
most oven rack positions.
•
To maximize
oven cooking
space,
place the bottom
oven
rack (some models)
in the lowest rack position
for baking
or
roasting
large
cuts of meat.
•
The fully
extendable
oven glide
rack allows
you to effort-
lessly extend
your food
away
from the oven.
Air Circulation
in the Oven
For best baking
results allow
2-4"
(5-10 cm) around
the
bakeware
for proper
air circulation
and be sure pans and
bakeware
do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back
of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able
to circulate
around
the
bakeware
in the oven for even heat to reach
around
the food.
