IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFOREUSING.
IA, WARNING I
Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire,
electrical shock, serious injury or death.
STATEOF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION65 WARNING
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.
IAWARNING IThis product contains one or more chemical known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Self-clean ovens can cause low-level exposure to some of these substances, including carbon monoxide,
during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.
l/k WARNING I GENERALSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
[] Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this Owner's Manual.
[] Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified installer in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
[] Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
your oven unless it is specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should be
transferred to a qualified technician.
[] Before performing any service, disconnect the
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 climb, sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
[]A CAUTION.Donotstoreitemsof
interest to children in cabinets above an oven
- children climbing on the oven to reach items
could be seriously injured.
[] 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 hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
in place of pot holders.
[] Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS
[] 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. Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially
hot surfaces include the oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening and crevices around
the oven door.
[] Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure
could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.
[] Do not use any type of foil or liner to cover the
oven bottom or anywhere in the oven, except as
described in this manual. Oven liners can trap
heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product
and risk of shock, smoke or fire.
[] Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors or
control panels. Doing so may lead to glass
breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken
glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur.
[] Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to
at least an internal temperature of 160°F and
poultry to at least an internal temperature of
180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.

[] Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan.
[] If there is a fire in the oven during baking,
smother the fire by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
[AWARNING
[] 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.
[] Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
[] Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease
in the oven may ignite.
[] Place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not
let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven.
[] When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
i OVENSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
[] If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn
the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do
not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air
at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst
of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in severe burns.
[] Pulling out the standard racks to their stop-locks
or the extension rack to its fully open position is
a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
[] Do not leave items such as paper, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
[] Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking
stones, or any type of foil or liner on the oven
floor. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting
in damage to the product and risk of shock,
smoke or fire.
H_WARNING ISELF-CLEANINGOVENSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the
oven. Follow these instructions for safe operation.
[] Do not touch oven surfaces during self-clean
operation. Keep children away from the oven
during self-cleaning. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause burns.
[] Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny
silver colored oven racks (on some models), the
probe, any aluminum foil, and any broiler pan,
grid, and other cookware. Only porcelain coated
oven racks may be left in the oven.
[] Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe
grease and food soils from the oven. Excessive
amount of grease may ignite, leading to smoke
damage to your home.
[] If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have
it serviced by a qualified technician.
[] 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.

with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance
surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film.
Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the
first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
49 80722 5
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from
packaging tape on new appliances is an application of
a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a
soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It
cannot be removed if it is baked on.

There are several different special features on your wall oven. To change the settings of these special features,
press the BAKE and BROIL pads at the same time and hold for three seconds. "SF" will appear in the display.
Select the feature you want to change. When the change has been made, press the START key to save the change
and return to the time of day.
Adjust the Oven Temperature
This feature allows the oven baking and convection
baking temperature to be adjusted up to 35°F hotter
or down to 35°F cooler. Use this feature if you believe
your oven temperature is too hot or too cold and wish
to change it. For double oven models, the upper and
lower ovens are adjusted separately. This adjustment
affects Bake, and Convection Bake (1 Rack/Multi)
modes. No other cooking modes are affected.
Press the Bake pad to select the oven to be adjusted.
Press the Bake pad again to enter the temperature
adjustment mode. A number between 35 and - 35
will display. Use the number pads to set the desired
temperature adjustment and use the Bake pad to
change between negative and positive.
Press the Start pad to save the temperature adjustment.

This is the tone that signals the end of a timer. The tone
can be continuous (Con bEEP) or one repeating beep
(bEEP). A continuous setting will continue to sound a tone
until a button on the control is pressed. Press the Broil pad
to view the current setting and then to change the setting.
Fahrenheit or Celsius Temperature Display
The oven control is set to use Fahrenheit temperatures
(F), but you can change it to use Celsius temperatures
(C). Press the number 6 and 8 pads at the same time to
view the current setting, press again to change the setting.
Clock Display
This feature specifies how the time of day will be
displayed or if no time of day will be displayed. You can
select a standard 12-hour clock (12 H), 24-hour military
time display (24 H), or for no clock displayed (oFF).
Press the Clock pad to view the current setting, press
again to change the setting.
Auto Recipe Conversion
When using Convection Bake 1 Rack or Convection Bake
Multi Rack cooking options, Auto Recipe Conversion will
automatically convert the regular baking temperatures
entered to convection bake cooking temperatures
when turned on. Note that this option does not convert
convection bake cooking times, it only converts
temperatures. Press the Convection Bake (1 Rack/Multi)
pad to view the conversion setting, press again to toggle
between On (Con On) and Off (Con oFF),
Sound Volume
This feature allows the oven tone volume to be adjusted
between high (HI bEEP HI), medium (Std bEEP Std),
low (Lo bEEP Lo) and off (oFF bEEP oFF). Press the
number 1 and 5 pads at the same time to view the
current setting or to change the setting. The control will
sound the oven tone at the new volume level each time
the sound level is changed.
12-hour auto shut-off and Sabbath
Options for this feature are "12 SHdn", "no SHdn" and
"SAbbAtH".
12-hour auto shut-off turns off the oven after 12 hours of
continuous operations.
Sabbath mode disables the oven lights (the oven light
will not turn on when the door is opened), all sounds
(the control will not beep when a button is pressed),
Convection, Broil, Warm, Proof, Cook Time, Timer,
Clock, and Delay Time functions. Sabbath mode can
only be used with Bake. This feature conforms to the
Star-K Jewish Sabbath requirements.

place the control into Sabbath mode, both ovens are
now in Sabbath mode and available for cooking.
Once in Sabbath mode, at any time you can press Bake,
use the number pads to enter a temperature between
170F and 550F, and press Start. No sound will be given
when the keys are pressed. At a random time between
30 seconds and 1 minute, ][, will appear in the display
indicating the oven is running.
Note that both ovens of a double wall oven can be used
in Sabbath mode. Each oven can be programmed
to a different temperature and each oven must be
programmed separately.
If you need to adjust the temperature, press Bake, use
the number pads to enter a new temperature between
170F and 550F, and press Start.
To turn the oven off, press Cancel/Off at any time. The
oven will immediately turn off and ][ will change to ]
indicating that the oven has turned off.
Note that each oven of a double wall oven must be
turned off separately.
To exit Sabbath mode, make sure that the oven is
turned off. Press and hold the Bake and Broil pads for 3
seconds to enter special features then press Delay Time
until either "12 Shdn" or "no Shdn" is in the display and
press Start.

unit will remain in Sabbath mode but off when power is
restored.
If you wish to use the Cook Time feature (if available) to
bake in the oven and then have the oven automatically
turn off, you will need to press the Cook Time button,
enter a cooking time duration, and press Start. Then
enter special features to start Sabbath mode as detailed
above.

Oven Racks
Your oven has six rack positions. Recommended rack
positions for various types of foods are provided in the
Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to
impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer
darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving
food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too
brown on top try moving them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow
air to flow.
Fiat Racks
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out
to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up
and pull it out.
To replace, place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks)
onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and
push the rack in.
Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after
a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.

heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use
of these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more
foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls
to prevent poor heat circulation.
Cookware
Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily
than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more
readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier
than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature by 25° F next time.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies
and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom
browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Baking and Roasting Modes
Select a mode for baking and roasting based on the
type and quantity of food you are preparing. When
preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and
pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe
recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines
are provided, center food in the oven.
Traditional Bake
The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack
cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower
element but also from the upper element to cook
food. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter
a temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is
generally recommended when using this mode.
Convection Bake 1 Rack
The Convection Bake 1 Rack mode is intended for
single rack cooking. This mode uses heat from the
lower element and also the upper and rear elements,
along with air movement from the convection fan to
enhance evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto
Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to convert the
temperature when using this mode. To use this mode
press the Convection Bake (1 Rack/Multi) once, enter
a temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is
generally recommended when using this mode.
Convection Bake Multi Rack
The Convection Bake Multi Rack mode is intended
for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This
mode uses heat primarily from the rear element but
also heat from the upper and lower elements, along
with air movement from the convection fan to enhance
cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto
Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to convert the
temperature when using this mode. Baking time might
be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be
expected for a single rack. To use this mode press the
Convection Bake (1 Rack/Multi) pad twice, enter a
temperature, and then press Start. Always preheat when
using this mode.
Convection Roast
The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting
whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses
heat from the lower, upper, and rear elements along
with air movement from the convection fan to improve
browning and reduce cooking time. It is not necessary to
convert temperature. Check food earlier than the recipe
suggested time when using this mode or use a meat
probe. To use this mode press the Convection Roast
pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start. It is not
necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in
this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while
broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack
positions as placing food closer to the broil element
increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats
igniting. For best performance center food below the broil
heating element. Broiling on rack position 6 is not
recommended.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust
rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the
food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a
seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods
and foods that need to be cooked through should be
broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by
using Broil Lo.
Broil Hi
The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper
element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of
meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior.
To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then
press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using
this mode.
Broil Lo
The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper
element to cook food thoroughly while also producing
surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts of meat
and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way
through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice and
then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when
using this mode.
Proof
Proof mode is designed for rising (fermenting and
proofing) bread doughs. Press the Proof pad and then
press Start. Cover dough well to prevent drying out.
Bread will rise more rapidly than at room temperature.
Note that for double wall ovens, proof can not be run
when running a clean mode in the lower oven.
Warm
Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot for up to
3 hours. To use this mode, press the Warm pad then
press Start. Cover foods that need to remain moist and
do not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is
not required. Do not use warm to heat cold food other
than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal. It is also
recommended that food not be kept warm for more than
2 hours.
