1. Oven vent slide-in ranges
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.
