Oven Vent
The oven is vented through the cooktop and the
oven vent tower. It is normal for steam to come out
of this vent and the area around the vent to become
hot during oven use. It is important to keep the vent
unblocked to ensure proper air circulation.
To remove the oven vent tower it is necessary to
remove the grates, oven vent cover, and cap. Using
a 1/2-in. socket, the oven vent tower can then be
removed.
Caution:
The graphite gasket on the oven vent that
seals the burner compartment is very fragile. When
replacing the oven vent, care must be given to
avoid damaging or breaking the gasket. Replace the
graphite gasket if it is damaged.
