Oven Racks
The oven has two racks (three if convection, select models).
All racks are designed with a lock-stop edge.
To remove:
1. Pull forward to the “stop”
position.
2. Lift up on the front of the
rack and pull out.
To replace:
1. Place rack on the rack support in the oven.
2. Tilt the front end up slightly; slide rack back until it clears
the lock-stop position.
3. Lower front and slide into the oven.
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven
is hot.
• Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.
Oven Light
The oven light automatically comes on when
the door is opened. When the door is closed,
press the Oven Light pad to turn the oven
light on and off. A beep will sound every time
the Oven Light pad is pressed. If the oven light is on when the
door is opened, the light will go off when the door is closed.
Oven Bottom
Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or
sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use
the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Do not
place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven
bottom.
Oven Fan
A convection fan (select models) is used to circulate hot air in
the oven when the convection feature is selected.
Important: The convection fan will automatically stop when
the oven door is opened.
Oven Vent
The oven vent is located along the back edge of the cooking
surface.
When the oven is in use, the area near the oven vent may
become hot enough to cause burns. Do not block the vent
opening for best baking results.
Notes:
• When convect baking on two or three racks (select
models), check foods at the minimum suggested time to
avoid over-browning or over-cooking.
• Do not cover an entire rack with aluminum foil or place foil
on the oven bottom. Baking results will be affected and
damage may occur to the oven bottom.
