OVENVENT
Oven Vent Location
For models equipped with ceramic cooktops, the oven vent islocated under the
left rear side of the control panel. When the oven is on, warm is released
through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven
and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on
the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop
outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element
outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop tothe cookware. Only flat-bottomed cookware
should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings, are all factors that
will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the sutrace elements. The areas su rrounding the elements may
become hot enough to cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperatu re rises gradually and evenly. As the
tempe rature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the
selected setting, the element wilt cycle on and off. The
heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform
and consistent heat during the off cycle. The ceramic fixture
thermally insulates the heating element, concentrating heat
in the heating zone. For efficient cooking, turn off the
element several minutes before cooking is complete. This
will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Cleaning and Before You Call
checklist sections of this Use and Care Manual.
NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent
damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occu rif the cookware is too small for the radiant
element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
