Oven Use; Aluminum Foil; Oven Vent; Inserting Oven Racks And Other Accessories - KitchenAid KEBC149BSS Use & Care Manual

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
During oven use, the heating elements will not remain on, but will
cycle on and off throughout oven operation.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil
■
because air must be able to move freely.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-
ventilated room.
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
■
at least ½" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.

Oven Vent

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows
the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or
covering vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking.
Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn
near the oven vent.
3. Return the oven rack to the horizontal position and push it in
to its final position as shown.
4. To remove the oven rack, perform the above steps in reverse
order.
NOTE: Accessories such as the drip tray and baking tray are
inserted in the same manner. The locking mechanism on the flat
surface enables the accessories to lock into place.
