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 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.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or pas-
sages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poi-
soning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
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
= Do not use your broiler par=without its insert. The
broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

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 linersiDo 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/AerosolsiAIways follow the manufacturer's
recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess
residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing
damage and/or injury.
