The oven vents should not be blocked or covered because they
allow the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking
and covering the vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting
cooking and cleaning results. Never set plastics, paper or other
items that could melt or burn near the oven vents. Some
condensation may occur; however, this will not affect cooking
performance.

Oven Light

(on some models)
The oven light is turned on by the switch located on the control
console. The oven does not need to be on for the light to come
on.
