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 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 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

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.
