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 inthe fan
could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's
instructionsfor cleaning.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening an Oven DooriStand 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

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.

Broiling information
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil ele-
ment of the oven. Always use a broiler pan and grid for broiling.
Preheating
Preheating the oven is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove all utensils
from the oven before preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat,
set the control(s) to BROIL as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Wait for the ele-
ment to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when
broiling meats weGdone.
To Broil
Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Sea-
son and serve. Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing
food.
Broil Stop Position /
/
Determine Broiling Times
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the
distance from element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and
doneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than
second. Frozen meats also require additional time.
Broiling Tips
Broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the broiler.
DO NOT use a pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The
exposed grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the
oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire
extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive
and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil.
DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as
soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is ex-
tremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use
soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.

Broil
Broiling isa method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. Be sure you
center the broiler pan directly under the broil element for best results.
Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. Position the rack as needed.
Broiler pan and its insert allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. DO NOT
use a pan without its insert. DO NOT cover the insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking
soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can
cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.

Most foods may be broiled at the HI broil setting. Select the LO broil
setting to avoid excess browning or drying of foods that should be
cooked to the well-done stage.
4. For optimum browning, preheat broil element for 3 =4 minutes
before adding food.
5. Place the insert on the broil pan, then place the food on the insert (See
Fig. 1). DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert or cover the insert
with aluminum foil. The exposed fat could ignite.
6. Place the pan on the oven rack. Open the oven door to the broil stop
position when broiling (See Fig 2).
7. Broil on one side until food is browned. Turn and broil food on 2nd side.
Note: Always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or
removing the food.
8. When broiling is finished, press

To Operate the Oven Light
The interior oven light will automatically turn ON when the oven door is opened. Press the Oven Light Switch located
on control panel to turn the interior oven light ON and OFF whenever the oven door is closed.
The interior oven light is located at the upper left rear wall of the oven interior and is covered with a glass shield held
by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use. To change the interior oven light, see
"Changing the Oven Light" in the General Care & Cleaning section.

Self=Cleaning
During the self=cleaning
cycle, the outside of the oven can
become very hot to the touch. DO NOT
leave small children unattended near
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.
DO NOT line the oven
wails, racks, bottom or any other part of
the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so
will destroy heat distribution, produce poor
baking results and cause permanent
damage to the interior (aluminum foil will
melt to the interior surface of the oven).
DO NOT force the oven
door open. This can damage the automatic
door locking system. Use caution when
opening the door after the Self-Cleaning
cycle is completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.

The oven bake and broil
elements may appear to have cooled after
they have been turned OFF. The
elements may still be hot and burns may
occur if these elements are touched
before they have cooled sufficiently.

Self-Cleaning Oven
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above
cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to
a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven
manually.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven
door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or remove the gasket.
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing
so could cause damage.
Remove all utensils and any aluminum foil from the oven. These
items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
• Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the self-clean
cycle for cleaning. If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their
color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the self-clean
cycle is completed and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks
with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or
salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).
• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting
the Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth.
Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to
remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
,, Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven
door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom.
These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and
water.
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the
oven bottom should be removed.
Some models have an exposed Bake element in the lower oven cavity. On
these models the bake element is designed to be tilted up using your hand
from the front of the bake element. This will allow easier access to the oven
bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5
inches from the resting position.
What to Expect during Cleaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of
metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear
through the oven vent.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is
normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
