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.

Hi,

They allow the oven to vent for proper heat inside the oven, they also
allow the products of combustion to come out of the oven....nope,
cannot cover or alter them!

Do all gas ovens have these?
