offset
oven rack
The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The
offset oven rack
(some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower
than normal. This rack design provides several additional
possible locations between the standard positions.
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located
under the left rear surface
element
(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 the oven vent.
