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.

Clock and Timer

Wall Oven

Double oven clock and timer

Single oven clock and timer

Using the clock and timer

When you first turn on the power to your oven, or after a power failure, the display will show all 8’s, then dashes and the set clock symbol.

To set or change the time of day, press the CLOCK button. The control will beep. The set clock symbol will appear in the display.

Press the increase “▲” or decrease “▼” button.

If the increase “▲” or decrease “▼” button is pressed and released, it will change the time in one minute increments. If the increase “▲” or decrease “▼” button is pressed and held, the time will change in 10 minute increments.

Once the clock is set, press the CLOCK button again. The control will beep and the set clock symbol will disappear.

To check the time of day when the timer is in use press the CLOCK button. The time of day will be displayed briefly and then will return to the timer function.

The timer button does not control oven functions. The timer may be used as a convenient kitchen timer.

To set, press the TIMER button. The control

will beep. The display will show “:00” and the words SET TIMER.

Press the increase “▲” or decrease “▼” button to set the amount of time desired.

The timer will start after approximately 4 seconds. The colon blinks when the timer starts counting down. The word TIMER will remain in the display during the countdown. The timer will count down in minutes until the last minute, then it will count down in seconds.

When timing is complete the word TIMER will blink and the control will beep three times. The display will return to the time of day or any active programmed function and the control will beep twice every 10 seconds until any button is touched.

To cancel the timer, press the TIMER button once. If no time is set, the timer cancels itself after approximately 5 seconds. The time of day is then displayed.

Baking or Roasting

Wall Oven

How to set the oven for baking or 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 BAKE.

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

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

The PREHEAT light will come on and stay on until the oven temperature reaches the pre-set temperature. When the light goes off, foods with recipes requiring a preheated oven should be placed in the oven. This light will CYCLE on and off during the remainder of the cooking process.

NOTE: These lights will not immediately come on if the mode selector knob is turned to TIMED.

4 Check the food for doneness at the minimum

time on the recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

Biscuits or muffins B or C

Cookies or cupcakes B or C

Brownies B or C

Layer cakes B or C

Bundt or pound cakes A

Pies or pie shells A or C

Single Pie B

Frozen pies B (on cookie sheet)

Casseroles B or C

Roasting A or B

When roasting use the A or B shelf position.

NOTE: When roasting, check the weight of the meat. Place the meat fat side up, or for poultry, breast side up, on the roasting grid in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible. (The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)

5 Turn the oven control knob to OFF when

baking is finished.

Proofing

Wall Oven

How to set the oven for proofing

The proofing feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products.

1 Place the covered dough in a dish in the

oven on shelf A.

2 Turn the mode selector knob to MANUAL.

NOTE: For best results, cover the dough with

a cloth or with greased plastic wrap (the plastic may need to be anchored underneath the front of the container so the oven fan will not blow it off).

3 Turn the oven control knob to PROOF.

The temperature control knob does not affect the proof temperature.

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

NOTE: The PREHEAT light does not come on during a PROOF operation.

4 Set the minute timer for the minimum

proof time.

5 When proofing is finished, turn the oven

control knob to OFF.

• To avoid lowering the oven temperature and lengthening proofing time, do not open the oven door unnecessarily.

• Check bread products early to avoid overproofing.

NOTE: Do not use the proofing mode for warming food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven temperature is not hot enough to hold foods at safe temperatures.
