Air Circulation in the Oven
If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks,
stagger cookware as shown.
For best air circulation and 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. The hot air must circulate around the pans and
cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
Some models are equipped with a blower which runs in baking
and self-cleaning mode to keep all internal components at a cool temperature.
The blower may keep running even if the oven has been turned off, until the
components have cooled down.
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented through the upper trim. When the oven is on, warm air is
released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the
oven and good baking results.
