important Safety instructions
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 through the center trim of the oven. 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 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.
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.
• 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/orinjury.
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 the broiler pan
and any 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 inoraround 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.

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.
Some models are equipped with a blower which runs in baking
and self-cleaning mode to keep all internal components at acool temperature.
The blower may keep running even if the oven has been turned off, until the
components have cooled down.
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.
