Oven Vent Location
See illustration on left side for venting location of each oven. When the oven is
on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT block the vent. Doing so
may cause cooking failures, fire or damage to the appliance.

Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
To remove an oven rack
, pull the rack forward until it
stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.
To replace an oven rack
, fit the rack onto the guides
on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward
and slide the rack back into place.
Air Circulation in the Oven
If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using
multiple racks, stagger cookware as shown.
For best air circulation and baking results allow
2-4” (5-10cm) 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
circulate around the pans and cookware in the
oven for even heat to reach around the food.
