Operating the Lower Oven
Before Using the Oven
NOTE
• Because the oven temperature cycles, an oven
thermometer placed in the oven cavity may not
show the same temperature that is set on the
oven.
• It is normal for the convection fan to run while
preheating during a regular bake cycle.
• The convection fan motor may run periodically
during a regular bake cycle.
• The heat turns off if the door is left open during
baking. If the door is left open for longer than 30
seconds during baking, the heat turns off. The
heat turns back on automatically once the door
is closed.
• Avoid opening the oven door more than
necessary during use. This helps the oven
maintain temperature, prevents unnecessary
heat loss, and saves on energy use.
Oven Vent
Areas near the vent may become hot during
operation and may cause burns. Avoid placing
plastics near the vent as heat may distort or melt
the plastic.
It is normal for steam to be visible when cooking
foods with high moisture content.
WARNING
• Do not block the vent opening at the bottom of
the oven.
Using Standard Oven Racks
The racks have a turned-up back edge that
prevents them from being pulled out of the oven
cavity.
CAUTION
• Replace oven racks before turning the oven on
to prevent burns.
• Do not cover the racks with aluminum foil, or
any other material, or place anything on the
bottom of the oven. Doing so will result in poor
baking and may damage the oven bottom.
• Do not place objects heavier than 33 lb (15 kg)
on the racks. Do not place heavy objects on the
corners of the racks. Doing so can damage the
racks.
Removing Racks
1
Pull the rack straight out until it stops.
2
Lift up the front of the rack and pull it out.
Replacing Racks
1
Place the end of the rack on the support.
2
Tilt the front end up and push the rack in.
Using Gliding Oven Racks
The optional gliding racks slide in and out on a
frame. This keeps heavy cookware level and
prevents it from sliding forward when the rack is
completely extended.
CAUTION
• Place oven racks in the desired location before
turning on the oven to avoid burns.
• Do not cover the racks with aluminum foil, or
any other material, or place anything on the
bottom of the oven. Doing so will result in poor
baking and may damage the oven bottom.
Installing Gliding Racks
1
Start with the rack in the closed position. Hold
the rack with one hand at the center front and
the other hand at the back right corner.
2
Carefully insert the rack between the rack
guides, and slide it back until the shelf drops
into place.
