IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening an Oven Door—Stand
to the side of the appliance when opening the
door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape
before you remove or replace food in the oven.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The wall
oven is vented at the upper control panel or at
the center trim depending of the model. Touching
the surfaces in this area when the wall oven is
operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not
place plastic or heat-sensitive items near the oven
vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool.
Remove all utensils from the rack before removing
rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use
extreme caution. Use pot holders and grasp the
rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let pot
holders contact the hot oven element or interior
of the oven.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert.
The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to
drain and be kept away from the high heat of
the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom with
aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could
ignite.
• Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp
cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.
Disconnect the appliance or shut o the power
to the appliance before removing and replacing
the bulb.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil
to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum
foil as recommended in this manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of
electric shock, or re.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR OVEN
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all
parts free of grease that could catch re.
Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease lters
should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to
accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could
catch re. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning.
• Cleaners/Aerosols—Always follow the
manufacturer’s recommended directions for
use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners
and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/
or injury.

CAUTION
Oven Vent and Racks
CAUTION
Upper Oven
Vent Location
Some models are equipped with a blower which runs in baking and
self-cleaning mode to keep all internal components at a cool temperature. The blower
may keep running even if the oven has been turned o, until the components have cooled
down. On 30” double wall ovens, the blower in both ovens will start when using one of
the ovens in self-clean mode.
Oven Vent Location
Each oven is vented at its upper front frame. When the oven is on, warm air is released
through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS
COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use
oven mitts when using the oven.
Lower Oven
Vent Location
To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops.
Lift up front of rack and slide out.
To replace an oven rack, t the rack onto the guides on the
oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the
rack back into place.
Types of Oven Racks
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely
cooled if possible. Oven racks may HOT and cause burns.
Your appliance may be equipped with one or more of the
oven rack types shown; Flat Handle Oven Rack and Oset
Oven Rack (some models). To maximize cooking space the
oset rack can be used in the lower rack position to roast
large cuts of meat and poultry.
Flat Handle Oven Rack Oset Oven Rack
Air Circulation in the Oven
If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, stagger cookware
as shown.
(some models)
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4» (5-10 cm) around the cookware
for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other,
the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around
the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
