Oven Vent Location
Each oven is vented at their center trim. When the oven is on, warm air is released
through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and
good baking results.

use oven mitts when using the oven.
To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it
stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.
To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides on
the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide
the rack back into place.
Air Circulation in the Oven
if using 1 rack, place in center of oven. if using multiple racks, stagger
cookware as shown.
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not
touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air
must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.
