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-clean 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:

• Be sure all packing materials are removed

from the oven before operating it to prevent

fire or smoke damage should the packing material ignite.

• 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• 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.

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

• 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.

• Never “open door broil” with children nearby.

They could quickly come into contact with a hot oven interior surface, causing severe burns.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Children in walkers, or children crawling, can be attracted to the round oven door handle and may grab and open the oven door. This

can result in injury from the door being pulled open on a child, or severe burns if the oven is in use and hot.

• Do not heat unopened food containers.

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

• 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.

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 selfclean cycle is used.

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

• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the oven

shelves, 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.

How to set the oven for broiling

1 If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge,

cut vertical slashes through both about 2″ apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8″ thick.

2 Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in

the broiler pan. Always use the grid so that any fat will drip into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch on fire.

3 Position a shelf on the recommended shelf

position as suggested in the Broiling Guide.

4 Leave the door open to the broil stop

position. The door will stay open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

5 Turn the mode selector knob to MANUAL.

NOTE: A cooling fan will turn on to cool

internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

6 Turn the temperature control knob and

Single oven controls shown.

Mode selector knob Temperature control knob Oven control knob

The oven door has a broil stop position.

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.

The broiler does not need to be preheated for most broiling. However, foods that cook quickly, such as thin strips of meat or fish may require a short preheating period of 2 to 3 minutes to allow the food surface to brown in the same time the food takes to be cooked throughout.

Turn the food only once during broiling. Time the foods for the first side according to the Broiling Guide.

Use caution when reaching into the oven during broiling as areas above the door may be hot.

7 When broiling is finished, turn the oven

control knob to OFF.

Convection Cooking

Wall Oven

What is convection cooking?

In a convection oven, a fan circulates the heated air evenly, over 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. Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes.

• Food is heated faster in a convection oven. When using the convection feature, many types of food can be cooked at lower temperatures than those suggested for regular ovens.

• Recipe books often give times and temperatures for cooking in regular ovens. Convection ovens make it possible to reduce the temperature by 50°F. when using Convection Bake.

• Check foods for doneness at the minimum suggested cooking time.

• 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 for 15 minutes and use the temperature on the package.

• Good for multi-shelf baking when baking cookies, brownies, and biscuits.

• Many foods may be cooked using the special Convection Floor Rack in combination with the other oven shelves. Foods such as chocolate chip and sugar cookies, pizza, and pies have shown good results when convection baking using as many as 5 shelves/racks.

• For best results when baking layer cakes, use conventional bake.

Multi Shelf Convection Cooking

Convection Cooking

Wall Oven

Convection cookware

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. Use the pan size recommended in the recipe.

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, you should use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.

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.

Convection Roasting Rack

Use this rack with the broiler pan and grid to provide good air circulation when convection roasting.

1 Turn the mode selector knob to MANUAL.

2 Using the temperature control knob, set the

desired temperature.

3 Turn the oven control knob to the desired

convection setting (CONV. BAKE, CONV. ROAST or CONV. BROIL).

The oven ON light and the oven interior lights turn on and remain on until the oven control knob has been turned to OFF.

4 Check the food for doneness at the

minimum time on the recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

5 Turn the oven control knob to OFF when

convection cooking is finished.

Convection Roast

Use for roasting. When set on Convection Roast the outer top element and the bottom element operate whenever heating. Fan operates.

Convection Broil

Use for fish. The door must be closed when Convection Broiling. When set on Convection Broil both top elements operate whenever heating. Fan operates.

NOTE:

• You will hear a convection fan while cooking with this feature.

• A cooling fan will turn on to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

6 At the end of timed cooking the word

COOK will blink in the display and the end of cycle tone will sound. To clear the end of cycle tone press any button. Turn the oven control knobs to OFF and the mode selector knob to MANUAL.

NOTE:

• You will hear a convection fan while cooking with convection features.

• A cooling fan will turn on to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

• The low temperature zone of this oven (between 150°F. and 200°F.) is available to keep hot cooked foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than two hours at these low temperatures may not be safe to eat.

• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

NOTE: On double oven models, you will not be able to set a timed cooking or cleaning function in both ovens at the same time.

Adjust the Oven Thermostat

Wall Oven

Do it yourself!

You may feel that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We

recommend that you use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide.

If you think your new oven is too hot or too cool, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

If you think it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make it hotter.

We do not recommend the use of thermometers,

such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

Self-Cleaning Oven

Wall Oven

Before a clean cycle

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

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

Clean soil from the frame around the oven door and outside the door gasket. These areas must be cleaned by hand.

Do not clean the door gasket by hand as this could damage it.

Wipe up excess grease and other food spills with a damp cloth. This will minimize the amount of smoke created during self-cleaning.

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

Make sure the oven light lens and lens frame are in place.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.

You can set the oven to turn on immediately, clean for a selected length of time and turn off automatically.

NOTE: Before beginning make sure the clock shows the correct time of day.

1 Turn the mode selector knob to TIMED.

2 Turn the oven control knob to SELF CLEAN.

3 Turn the temperature control knob

to CLEAN.

Clean time is normally 3 hours. You can change the clean time to any time between 2 and 4 hours depending on the amount of soil in your oven.

If your oven is connected to a 208V electrical supply, we recommend that you set your clean time for 4 hours.

4 Press the COOK TIME button if a time other

than 3 hours is needed.

5 Press the increase “▲” or decrease “▼”

button to set the cleaning time.

If the increase “▲” or decrease “▼” button is not pressed within 5 seconds of pressing the COOK TIME button you will need to press COOK TIME again.

The display will show CLEAN and the clean time remaining.

As the oven heats to the clean temperature the door will lock automatically. The locked door, PREHEAT and the oven ON indicator lights turn on.

6 After the clean cycle is complete, the oven has

cooled and the locked door indicator light is off, turn the oven control knobs to OFF and the mode selector knob to MANUAL.

NOTE: On double oven models, you will not be able to set a timed cooking or cleaning function in both ovens at the same time.

How to set the oven for cleaning

Single oven controls shown set for cleaning.

Mode selector knob Temperature control knob Oven control knob

After a clean cycle

If white spots remain, remove them with warm sudsy water 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 may notice some white ash in the oven.

Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.

How to delay the start of cleaning

You can set the oven to delay the start of cleaning, clean for a selected length of time and turn off automatically.

NOTE: Before beginning make sure the clock shows the correct time of day.

1 Turn the mode selector knob to TIMED.

2 Turn the oven control knob to SELF CLEAN.

3 Turn the temperature control knob

to CLEAN.

4 Press the START TIME button.

5 Press the increase “▲” or decrease “▼”

button to set the time of day you want the oven to turn on and start cleaning.

If the increase “▲” or decrease “▼” button is not pressed within 5 seconds of pressing the START TIME button you will need to press START TIME again.

Clean time is normally 3 hours. You can change the clean time to any time between 2 and 4 hours depending on the amount of soil in your oven.

If your oven is connected to a 208V electrical supply, we recommend that you set your clean time for 4 hours.

6 Press the COOK TIME button if a time other

than 3 hours is needed.

7 Press the increase “▲” or decrease “▼”

button to set the cleaning time.

If the increase “▲” or decrease “▼” button is not pressed within 5 seconds of pressing the COOK TIME button you will need to press COOK TIME again.

The display will return to the time of day and show the word DELAY. When the start time is reached, the display will show the word CLEAN and the clean time remaining.

As the oven heats to the clean temperature the door will lock automatically. The locked door, PREHEAT, and oven ON indicator lights turn on.

8 After the clean cycle is complete, the oven has

cooled and the locked door indicator light is off, turn the oven control knobs to OFF and the mode selector knob to MANUAL.

NOTE: On double oven models, you will not be able to set a timed cooking or cleaning function in both ovens at the same time.

Baking pans/sheets

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of pan or sheet.

• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be reduced by 25°F.

Convection Floor Rack

To avoid possible burns, always use oven mitts and the Rack Grasp Handles on each side when moving this special rack and NEVER pull this rack past the STOP position during cooking. This rack is designed to slide on the oven bottom and extend to stop against the open oven door.

To remove this rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull out.

NOTE: This special rack is to be used only in the oven bottom position.

To replace, always be sure the Rack Grasp Handles are toward the front of the oven. Otherwise, foods could slide off the back during extension.

Stop Position

Baking Tips

Wall Oven

Oven shelves

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

The correct shelf position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired.

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.

Oven air flow

IMPORTANT: Internal cooling fan operates during all oven modes. Do not allow this air flow to be obstructed such as by draping kitchen towels over the front of the oven in undercounter applications.

The oven has 4 shelf positions.

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.

Baking Tips

Wall Oven

Pan placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1- to 11⁄2″ space between pans as well as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides.

If you need to use two shelves, use shelf positions A and C and stagger the pans so that one is not directly above the other.

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature—selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time. Preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes, or until the PREHEAT light goes off.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. Preheat for 15 minutes.

Aluminum foil

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.

Care and Cleaning

Wall Oven

Control panel and knobs

Clean up spatters with a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.

Do not use abrasives of any kind on the control panel.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.

Oven heating elements

Do not clean the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the element is heated.

The bake element is not exposed and is under the oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate on the oven floor, wipe up before self-cleaning.

Oven shelves

Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

Broiler pan, grid, and Convection Roasting Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler pan and grid 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.

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

The broiler pan, grid, and Convection Roasting Rack can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan, grid, or Convection Roasting Rack anywhere in the oven.

CAUTION: Do not clean the broiler pan, grid, or Convection Roasting Rack in a self-cleaning oven.

Care and Cleaning

Wall Oven

Oven lights

Each oven is equipped with two lights located on the back wall of the oven. The lights come on when the door is opened or when the oven is in a cooking cycle. The oven lights do not come on during self-cleaning.

Each light assembly consists of a removable lens frame, a removable lens, a light bulb and a bulb socket that is fixed in place.

Make sure the oven and lights are cool and power to the oven has been turned off at the main power supply before replacing a light bulb. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.

To replace a light bulb:

1 Remove the lens frame by unscrewing

the screw.

2 Remove the lens.

3 Remove the bulb from its socket.

4 Replace the bulb with a new bulb. Be sure to

screw the bulb completely into the socket.

5 Replace the lens, making sure that it is firmly

pressed in place.

6 Replace the lens frame and fasten in place

with the screw. The lens and lens frame must be in place when using the oven.

7 Reconnect electrical power to the oven.

Replacement bulbs may be purchased by calling 800-626-2002.

To clean the door

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. Any soap left on the liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated so be sure to rinse thoroughly.

• The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a soap-filled scouring pad.

• Do not rub or clean the door gasket— the fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good baking results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the oven, you should have it replaced.

Outside of the door:

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

Clean with hot soapy water. Rinse and dry.

If food soil remains, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik®, Simple Green

or Formula 409®.

For hard to clean soil use a standard stainless steel cleaner such as Bon-Ami®, Cameo®or Bar Keepers Friend®. Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.

After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish such as Stainless Steel Magic®(for stainless steel models on stainless steel surfaces only).

To clean the outside of the window, use a glass cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

Do not allow the water or cleanser to run down inside the openings in the glass.
