Vent Tube/Smoke Eliminator
Each oven is equipped with an oven vent tube
and a smoke eliminator. The vent tube and smoke
eliminator for the upper oven are located on the
top left rear corner of the oven cavity above the
broiler element. The vent tube and smoke eliminator
for the lower oven are located at the right rear top
corner of the oven cavity. Air vented from the oven
cavity will pass through the catalyst, then enter the
vent tube to be exhausted under the bottom of the
control panel.
