Oven Vent (All Gas)
The oven is vented through the glass cooktop. It is
normal for steam to come out of this vent and the
area around the vent to become hot during oven
use. It is important to keep the vent unblocked to
ensure proper air circulation.
To remove the oven vent:
1. Remove the center iron burner grate.
2. Unscrew the oven vent and remove.
Caution: The graphite gasket on the oven vent
that seals the burner compartment is very fragile.
When replacing the oven vent, care must be given
to avoid damaging or breaking the gasket.
Replace the graphite gasket if it is damaged.

It is normal for steam to come out of this vent and
the area around the vent to become hot during
oven use. It is important to keep the vent
unblocked to ensure proper air circulation.
The bake thermal switch on the vent tube protects
the electronics from damage should a high
temperature condition occur. It opens at 240°F
(115°C) and closes when temperatures cool
below 190°F (88°C). (See Thermal Switches for
more information).
To remove the oven vent assembly:
1. Remove the maintop burner assembly (see
Maintop Burner Assembly).
2. Remove the upper heat shield (see Upper and
Lower Heat Shield).
3. Remove the hex-head screw that holds the
oven-vent heat shield in place.
5. Remove the hex-head screw that connects
the top vent to the tube that the bake thermal
switch is mounted on.
