Bl ‘Using Your Oven
The oven vent(s)
Hot air and moisture escape from the
oven(s) through vent(s). The vent for the
oven is above the oven door. This vent is
needed for air circulation. Do not block the
vent(s). Poor baking/roasting can result.

Cooking tips
Baking/convection baking tips
The hot air must circulate around the pans in
the oven for even heat to reach all parts of
the oven. This results in better baking.
For best air circulation:
• Place the pans so that one is not directly
over the other.

• For best results, allow VA to 2 inches of
space around each pan and between pans
and oven walls. There must be a minimum
space of 1 inch.
• When baking with one pan, place pan in
the center of the oven rack.
• When baking with two pans, place pans
in opposite corners of the oven rack.
NOTE: “Oven peeking” may cause heat
loss, longer cooking times, and unsatisfac¬
tory baking or roasting results. Rely on your
timer.
Rack positions
Your upper/single oven has 3 straight racks
and 5 rack positions. Your lower oven has
either 2 or 3 racks (depending on model)
and 5 rack positions. Rack position 5 is the
highest position, or farthest from the bottom
of the oven. Rack position 1 is the lowest
position, or closest to the bottom of the
oven.
A WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
• Always position oven rack(s) in desired
location before turning oven on. Be sure
the rack(s) is level.
• If you must move rack(s) while oven is
hot, use pot holders or oven mitts to
protect hands.
• Do not let pot holder or oven mitt touch
hot broil element.
Failure to follow the above precautions
could result in personal injury.
