How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product,
packaging tape on new appliances is an application of
a household liquid
or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to
soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to
thoroughly clean and protect the surface.
NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the
chrome trim on oven parts. It cannot be removed if it
is baked on.

Oven Vent
When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent

The vent area could get hot during oven use.
The vent is needed for proper air flow in the oven and
