My home has a Tappan gas range that looks like it was made in the
70's. On the front of the range just above the burners there are six
vent holes that vent heat from the oven. What is the pupose of these
holes and can they be closed? They add a tremendous amount of heat to
the kitchen.


You've answered your own question. The holes are there to vent the oven.
More specifically, they also vent combustion products and moisture.

No, you cannot block them without causing a host of problems.
