important Safety instructions
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 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 inthis
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/or injury.
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 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

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

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. 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 isvented 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.
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.
Types of Oven Racks .._/_,.._
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
adjusting the oven racks. Wai 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
Offset Oven Rack (some models). To maximize cooking
space the offset rack can be used in the Iowet rack
position to roast large cuts of meat and poultry.
Flat Handle Oven
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.
