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 de

pending 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 uten

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

through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results.

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

Note: Always use caution when removing food.

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.
