Oven-Vent
Your oven is vented through
duct openings at the center rear
of the range. Do not block these
ducts when cooking in the
oven—
it is important that the flow of hot
air from the oven and fresh air to
the oven burner be uninterrupted.
Avoid touching the vent openings
or nearby surfaces during oven or
broiler operation—they may
– become hot.
Vent openings and nearby
surfaces may become hot.
Do not touch them.
Handles of pots and pans on
the cooktop may become hot
if left too close to the vent.
Do not leave plastic items on
the cooktop-they may melt
if left too close to the vent.
Do not leave any items on
the cooktop. The hot air from
the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure
in closed containers, which may
cause them to burst.
Metal items will become
very hot if they are left on
the cooktop, and could
cause burns.
