Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack styles illustrated below. oven vent location flat handle oven rack Fig.
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Air circulation in the oven For best baking results allow 2-4” (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the cookware (See Fig. 1).
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Types of cooktop elements Using proper cookware The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass cooktop. The patterns on the ceramic glass will outline the size and type of element available. The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figs. 2 & 3.
