Locate the two “knockout” plates, on the rear
oven panel, near the top of the oven. Using tin
snips, carefully cut the web area from the two
holes side-by-side (that secure the knockouts
to the oven). Cut all four webs on both rear
knockouts; this will allow the ventilation fan
airflow to exhaust out the rear of the oven.
CAUTION
Be sure to trim the sharp edges
from the openings after removing the knockout
plates.
