shorter item). This allows for easier access to all items and better utilization of 
the oven cavity.
Tip: 
The removable section can also be used outside of the oven as a 
trivet or cooling rack.
Oven Bottom
CAUTION:
Do not place food directly on oven bottom. Do not use aluminum foil 
or protective liners to line any part of an appliance, especially surface 
unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners may result 
in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Combustion Vents (Slide-in models 
only)
The combustion vents are located along the back edge of the cooktop. They 
allow the burners to operate properly. Do not block these vents.
CAUTION:
DO NOT block combustion vents.  Blocked vents could lead to fire or 
unintentional release of carbon monoxide.
Oven Vent
The oven vent is located below the display above the rear left cooktop burner. It 
is normal to see steam escaping from the vent and condensation may collect on 
the backguard and cooktop. 
CAUTION:
This area may become hot when the oven is in use. To prevent car-
bon monoxide build-up, do not block the vent. The oven vent is also 
important for air circulation. 
Automatic Shutoff
The oven will automatically shut off after 12 hours (24 hours if the time format is 
set for 24 hour in the Select Function section).
Self Cleaning
The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor 
involved with cleaning your oven.
