Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel
(See Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air passes through the vent.
This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.
Arranging Oven Racks & Roasting Shelf
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL
(PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when
using the oven.

Food Rack Position

Broiling meats, chicken or fish 1, 2, or 3

& Muffins

Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide

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 be able to circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for
even heat to reach around the food.

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 3 & 6 (See Fig. 7). For best results
when using a single oven Flat Rack, place cookware on rack position 4 (See Fig. 8).
Types of Oven Racks & Roasting Shelf
Your range may be equipped with one or more of
the oven rack types shown; Flat Rack (Fig. 5)
and Roasting Shelf (Fig. 6; some models). To
maximize cooking space the Roasting Shelf
should be used in the lowest rack position to
