Remove
packaging
tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove adhesive left
from packaging tape on new appliances is an
application of a household liquid dishwashing
detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil. Apply
with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and
then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly
clean and protect the surface.

NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the
chrome trim on the oven parts. It cannot be removed if
it is baked on.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

• The California Safe Drinking Water and

Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor

of California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances.

• The fiberglass insulation in self-cleaning
ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure

can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using your appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as

described in this guide.

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician in

accordance with the provided installation
instructions.

• Be sure the oven is securely installed in a
cabinet that is firmly attached to the house
structure. Never allow anyone to climb, sit,

stand or hang on the oven door.

• Have the installer show you the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy

reference.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your wall oven unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide. All other

servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.

• Teach children not to play with the controls or
any other part of the oven.

• Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the oven.

• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance from
your oven.

• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.

• Do not store flammable materials in the oven.

• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your oven.

• Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains
or drapes a safe distance from your oven.

• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the wall oven.

• Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire

or flame or use a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi­purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms, except as suggested in this guide.

Improper installation of aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

• When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an
internal temperature of at least 170°F. This
assures that, in the remote possibility that
trichina may be present in the meat, it will be
killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE OVEN POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY

REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING
OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

• Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the appliance.

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

• Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

5

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Do not touch the heating elements or the

interior surface of the oven. These surfaces

may be hot enough to burn even though they
are dark in color. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact, any interior area of the
oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent
openings and surfaces near the openings,
crevices around the oven door, the edges of
the door window and metal trim parts above
the door.

Remember: The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.

• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED
IN CABINETS ABOVE A WALL OVEN—
CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE OVEN TO
REACH ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY
INJURED.

• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when

reaching for items stored over the oven.
Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with oven heating elements
and may cause severe burns.

• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or
near your oven.

• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be

handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact
the heating elements.

• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a

precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers. If

overheated, they can catch on fire.

• Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored
in an oven can ignite.

• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or
food in the oven when not in use.

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door. They could damage the oven or

cause severe personal injury.

• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders touch oven
heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.

• Stand away from the oven when opening the
oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can

cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

• After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of
the oven and clean it. Leftover grease in the

broiler pan can catch fire the next time you use
the pan.

• Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing an injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

• Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around any part of the
oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage
the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle
is used.

• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.

• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the

broiler pan, grid and other cookware.

• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.

• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the

oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have
it serviced by a qualified technician.

Baking or Roasting

Wall Oven

Before you
begin…

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired
position before you turn the oven on.

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed
correctly on the supports, they will stop before
coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware,
pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf
support.

To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the
front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the shelf (stop­locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push
the shelf in.

30² ovens (shown) have 7 shelf positions.

27² ovens have 4 shelf positions.

How to set
the oven for
baking or
roasting

1 Press the BAKE pad.
2 Press the number pads to set the desired

temperature.

3 Press the START pad.
4 Check food for doneness at minimum time

on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

Baking or Roasting

Wall Oven

Preheating
and pan
placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To
preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature.
Preheating is necessary for good results when
baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat 10 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are
centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans
should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the
pans so one is not directly above the other, and
leave approximately 11⁄2² between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the wall.

Cookie
sheets

(on some models)

As an added convenience for you when using your
new convection oven, we have provided three cookie
sheets.

The two large ones are for use on the flat
shelves. The small cookie sheet is for use on the
offset shelf. The cookie sheets provide uniform
baking. They are dishwasher safe, durable and
will not warp or rust.

Insulated cookie sheets, with an easy grip lip,
are made of two layers of aluminum with an
insulating layer of air for uniform baking.
Aluminum is an oven baking metal. It is not,
however, a non-stick surface. If your recipe
recommends greasing, spray lightly with a non­stick vegetable coating; wipe off the excess. If
preferred, put a light film of shortening on the
cookie sheet. Cookies should cool at least 2
minutes before removing them from the sheet.

We recommend that you use Convection Bake
for multi-shelf cooking. For two-shelf baking,
place the offset shelf in the bottom (A) shelf
position. Place the straight shelf in the third (C)
shelf position. Place the small cookie sheet on
the offset rack. Always use a cool cookie sheet.

On double oven models, when baking on three
shelves, divide the oven into thirds by placing
the offset shelf in the third (C) shelf position
and straight shelves in the first (A) and fourth
(D) shelf position. See the Convection Baking
section.

Your insulated cookie sheets can be used for
convection baking or regular baking. However,
if you choose not to use Convection Bake for
baking cookies and are baking on the insulated
cookie sheets, you may find that the
recommended baking time needs to be
increased 3 to 5 minutes.

Aluminum
foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler
pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold
the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just
like the grid.

Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil.
This will disturb the heat circulation and result
in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a
spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several
inches below the food.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Using the Probe

Wall Oven

Temperature
probe

NOTE: Double oven models have a probe in the upper
oven only.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry,
internal food temperature is the best test for
doneness. The temperature probe takes the
guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to
the exact doneness you want.

Use of probes other than the one provided with
this product may result in damage to the probe.

Use the handles of the probe and plug when
inserting and removing them from the meat
and outlet.

• To avoid damaging your probe, do not use

tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.

• To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food

is completely defrosted before inserting.

• To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the

probe from the outlet until the oven has
cooled.

• Never leave your probe inside the oven during

a self-cleaning cycle.

• Do not store the probe in the oven.

Cable

Probe

Handles

Plug

The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into the outlet in the oven.

Proper
placement
of the probe

After preparing the meat and placing it on a
trivet or on the broiler pan grid, follow these
directions for proper probe placement.

1 Lay the probe on the outside of the meat

along the top or side and mark with your

finger where the edge of the meat comes to

on the probe. The point should rest in the

center of the thickest meaty part of the roast.
2 Insert the probe completely into the meat. It

should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into

the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham
or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the
lowest large muscle or joint.

Insert the probe into the center of dishes such
as meat loaf or casseroles. When cooking fish,
insert the probe from just above the gill into the
meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the
inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg
of a whole turkey.

21

Using the Convection Oven

Wall Oven

Convection
fan

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air
over, under and around the food.

This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods
are evenly cooked and browned—often in less
time with convection heat.

The convection fan shuts off when the oven door is
opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods
of time while using convection cooking or you may
shorten the life of the convection heating element.

(appearance may vary)

CAUTION:

When you are using the offset shelf (on 27² models) in the

lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling

the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out several

inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by

holding the sides of it. The offset shelf is low and you could be

burned if you place your hand in the middle of the shelf and pull

all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the

door when using a shelf in the lowest position (A).

Convection
baking

Heat comes from the heating element in the
rear of the oven. The convection fan circulates
the heated air evenly over and around the food.
Preheating is not necessary with foods having a
bake time of over 15 minutes.

• Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked
on multiple shelves.

• Good for large quantities of baked foods.

• Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins,
brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls,
angel food cake and bread.

Convection
roasting

• Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
Heat comes from the top heating element. The

convection fan circulates the heated air evenly
over and around the food. Meat and poultry are
browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. Using the roasting rack provided,
heated air will be circulated over, under and
around the food being roasted. The heated air
seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender
product while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.

Roasts or poultry should be cooked on a shelf
(on 27² models use the offset shelf) in the
lowest shelf position (A).

When you are convection roasting it is important
that you use the broiler pan and grid and the
special roasting rack for best convection roasting
results. The pan is used to catch grease spills
and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

Place the meat on the special roasting rack. The
rack holds the meat. The rack allows the heated
air to circulate under the meat and increase
browning on the underside of the meat or poultry.

• Place the shelf (on 27² models use the offset
shelf) in the lowest shelf position (A).

• Place the grid on the broiler pan and put the
roasting rack over them making sure the posts
on the roasting rack fit into the holes in the
broiler pan.

Adapting
recipes

You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.

When baking, reduce baking temperature by 25°F.
No need to preheat when cooking longer than

15 minutes.
Use pan size recommended.

Some package instructions for frozen casseroles
or main dishes have been developed using
commercial convection ovens. For best results
in this oven, preheat the oven and use the
temperature on the package.

For more information on adapting recipes, see
the Convection Cookbook.

Multi-shelf
baking

When convection baking with only 1 shelf, follow
the shelf positions recommended in the Baking or
Roasting section.

Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be baked with
excellent results using multiple shelves.

Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times
slightly for some foods but the overall result is
time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and
other quickbreads give very good results with
multi-shelf baking.

27² Ovens

When baking on 3 shelves, divide the oven into
thirds by placing the offset shelf in the third (C)
shelf position and the straight shelves in first
(A) and fourth (D) shelf positions.

For two-shelf baking, place the offset shelf in
the bottom (A) shelf position. Place the straight
shelf in the third (C) shelf position.

30² Ovens

When baking on 3 shelves, place one shelf in
the bottom (A) position, one on the third (C)
position and one in the 5th (E) position.

Cookware for
convection
cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see
if your cookware leaves room for air circulation
in the oven. If you are baking with several pans,
leave space between them. Also, be sure the
pans do not touch each other or the walls of the
oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that
are recommended for use in regular ovens can
be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware
that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F.
can also be used.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection
oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and
are recommended for convection baking.

Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.

Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies, you will get the best

results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan
with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well
around food in a pan with high sides.

You may find that your new oven cooks
differently than the one it replaced. Use your
new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it. If you still think your new oven
is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the
thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found
in grocery stores, to check the temperature
setting of your oven. These thermometers may
vary 20–40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or

Using the Self-Cleaning Oven

Wall Oven

Before a
clean cycle

The oven door must be closed and all controls must be
set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

The oven must be completely cool in order to
set the self-clean cycle.

We recommend venting your kitchen with an
open window or using a ventilation fan or hood
during the first self-clean cycle.

Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, probe, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

The oven shelves and convection roasting rack
can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose
their luster and become hard to slide.

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the
top, sides and outside of the oven door with
soap and water.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover (on some
models) is in place and the oven light is off.

On double oven models, you can set a clean cycle in
both ovens at the same time. The last oven set will
automatically delay its start until the end of the first
oven’s clean cycle.

On double oven models, you can use timed baking in
one oven and self-clean the other at the same time.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

(appearance may vary)

How to set
the oven for
cleaning

1 Press the SELF CLEAN pad.
2 Using the number pads, enter the desired

clean time, if a time other than 4 hours is
needed.

Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours. You can change
the clean time to any time between 3 hours and 5
hours, depending on how dirty your oven is.

3 Press the START pad.
The door locks automatically. The display will

show the clean time remaining. It will not be
possible to open the oven door until the
temperature drops below the lock temperature
and the LOCKED DOOR light goes off.

When the LOCKED DOOR light is off, open
the door.

• The words LOCK DOOR will flash and the
oven control will signal if you set the clean
cycle and forget to close the oven door.

• To stop a clean cycle, press the CLEAR/OFF
pad. When the LOCKED DOOR light goes off
and the oven has cooled below the locking
temperature, open the door.

29

How to delay
the start of
cleaning

1 Press the SELF CLEAN pad.
2 Using the number pads, enter the desired

clean time.

3 Press the DELAY START pad. The earliest

start time you can set will appear in the
display.

4 Using the number pads, enter the time of day

you want the clean cycle to start.
5 Press the START pad.
The door locks automatically. The display will

show the start time. It will not be possible to
open the oven door until the temperature drops
below the lock temperature and the LOCKED
DOOR light goes off.

When the LOCKED DOOR light is off, open
the door.

NOTE: On double oven models, you can set a delay
clean in both ovens at the same time. The second oven
set will automatically delay the start of cleaning until
the end of the first oven’s clean cycle.

To recall the start time of the second oven set,
press the DELAY START pad on the controls for
the second oven.

After a
clean cycle

You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven
cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap­filled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a
vinegar and water mixture.

These deposits are usually a salt residue that
cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,
repeat the cycle.

• You cannot set the oven for cooking until the
oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.

• While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press
the CLOCK pad to display the time of day.
To return to the clean countdown, press the
COOKING TIME pad.

• If the shelves become hard to slide, wipe the
shelf supports with cooking oil.

Care and Cleaning

Wall Oven

Oven
shelves and
convection
roasting
rack

Clean the oven shelves (including the offset
shelf) and the convection roasting rack with an
abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning,
rinse the shelves and rack with clean water and
dry with a clean cloth.

NOTE: The oven shelves and convection roasting rack
may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, the
shelves will darken in color, lose their luster and
become hard to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning
cycle. You can wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil
after self-cleaning to make the shelves slide more easily.

BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF AND ALL SURFACES ARE COOL BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PART OF THE OVEN.

Roasting rack

Oven shelf

Offset shelf (27

² models only)

Lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for

proper air circulation.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely low

resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any

way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it

replaced.

Lift-off oven door

The oven door is removable for cleaning.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
To remove the door, open it to the broil stop

position. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the
door straight up and off the hinges.

Do not place hands between the hinge and the
oven door frame.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are
in the broil stop position. Position the slots in
the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges
and slowly lower it over both hinges.

To clean the inside of the door:

• Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned
during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to
clean this by hand.

• The area outside the gasket and the front
frame can be cleaned with a soap-filled steel
wool or plastic pad, hot water and detergent.
Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the outside of the door:

• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the
top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse
well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean
the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let
water drip into the vent openings.

• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing acids
may cause discoloration and should be wiped
up immediately. When surface is cool, clean
and rinse.

• Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

31

Cookie sheets

(on some models)

Always allow the cookie sheets to cool before washing.

The cookie sheets are designed to breathe and
therefore are not water tight. If you wash them
by hand, they should not be allowed to soak. If
for some reason they do get soaked, stand them
on edge on a towel so the water will drain out.

You may also place the pan upside down in a
250°F. oven for 30 minutes to dry out the moist
ure. They can also be washed in a dishwasher.

As with all aluminum cookware, the insulated
cookie sheets may darken with age.

Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven.

Metal parts

Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia or
commercial oven cleaners.

To safely clean surfaces, wash, rinse and then
dry with a soft cloth.

Broiler pan and grid

Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self­cleaning oven.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the
oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully
pour out the grease from the pan into a proper
container.

Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot
water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with
detergent while hot and cover with wet paper
towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will
remove burned-on foods.

Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned
with a commercial oven cleaner.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in
the oven.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.

Control
panel

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after
each use. Clean with mild soap and water or
vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and
polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleansers on the control panel—they will
damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of
vinegar and hot water works well.

32

Care and Cleaning

Wall Oven

Probe

The temperature probe may be cleaned with
soap and water or a soap-filled scouring pad.
Cool the temperature probe before cleaning.
Scour stubborn spots with a soap-filled scouring
pad, rinse and dry.

Do not immerse the temperature probe in water.

Do not store the temperature probe in the oven.

Oven light
bulb

(on some models)

NOTE: The glass cover should be removed only when
cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.

Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical
power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit
breaker panel. Let the bulb cool completely
before removing it. For your safety, do not
touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth. If you do,
the bulb will break.

To remove:

Turn to remove the cover, then remove the
bulb.

To replace:

Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb.

NOTE:

• A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a
standard 40-watt household bulb.

• Install and tighten the cover.

• Reconnect electrical power to the oven.

• For improved lighting inside the oven, clean
the glass cover frequently using a wet cloth.
This should be done when the oven is
completely cool.
