• User Servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically recommended in
the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by

appliance. Do not allow children to climb or play around
the appliance.
• Storage on Appliance. Flammable materials
should not be stored in the oven. This includes

Do not store items of interest to
children in the cabinets above an appliance. Children
climbing on the appliance to reach items could be
seriously injured.
• Do not leave children alone. Children should not

appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to
sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• DO NOT TOUCH BAKE AND BROILING ELEMENTS
OR AREAS NEAR THESE ELEMENTS. Baking and
broiling elements may be hot even though they are dark
in color. Areas near elements may become hot enough
to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other flammable materials touch these
areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
• Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the

ENGLISH
• All wall ovens can tip.
• Injury to persons could result.
• Install mounting brackets packed with
the wall oven.
• See Installation Instructions.
To reduce the risk of tipping, the wall
oven must be secured by properly
installed mounting brackets provided
with the wall oven. Refer to the
Installation Instructions for proper
mounting bracket installation.
Never use your appliance for warming
or heating the room.
• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires.
Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda,
a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use Only Dry Potholders. Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do

Important Safety Instructions
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers. Buildup of
pressure may cause the container to burst and result
in injury.
IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the appliance
during a power failure. If power fails, always turn off the
appliance. If the appliance is not turned off and the power
resumes, it will begin to operate again. Once the power
resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR OVEN
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan
could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
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 your broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away
from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover 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 off 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 fire.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN MODELS
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the
appliance listed in this Owner's Guide. Before using the
self-cleaning cycle of the appliance, remove all utensils
stored in the appliance.
• Do not clean the oven 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 oven cleaner or oven liner
protective coating of any kind should be used in or around
any part of the appliance
The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle
of any wall oven. Move birds to another well ventilated
room.
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 productive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.

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 off, until the
components have cooled down.
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented through the upper trim. 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.
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, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front
of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Air Circulation in the Oven
If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, stagger cookware
as shown.
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.
