USING YOUR OVEN(continued)Oven ShelvesThe shelves aredesigned with stop-locks so when placedcorrectly on the shelfsupports, they will stopbefore comingcompletely out of theoven and will not tiltwhen you are removingfood from them orplacing food on them.When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf outto the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookwareon the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.To remove a shelffrom the oven, pull ittoward you, tilt thefront end upward andpull the shelf out.To replace, place theshelf on the shelfsupport with the stop-locks (curved extensionof the shelf) facing up and toward the rear of theoven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward theback of the oven until it goes past the bump on theshelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf andpush it all the way back.Oven VentsThe oven is vented through duct openings at the rearof the cooktop. See the Features section. Do notblock these openings when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the ovenand fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted.• The vent openings and nearby surfaces maybecome hot. Do not touch them.• Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop maybecome hot if left too close to the vent.• Metal items will become very hot if they areleft on the cooktop and could cause burns.• Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hotair from the vent may ignite flammable items andwill increase pressure in closed containers, whichmay cause them to burst.• Do not leave plasticitems on thecooktop— theymay melt if left tooclose to the vent.Shelf PositionsThe oven has five shelf supports for baking androasting identified in this illustration as A (bottom),B, C, D and E (top).
