Important Safety Instructions
• DO NOT TOUCH INTERIOR OVEN ELEMENTS
OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE WALL OVEN
UNTIL THEY HAVE COOLED. The oven heating
elements may be hot even though the elements are
dark in color. Areas near the elements may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials touch these areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are
the oven vent openings, the surfaces near these
openings, oven door and window.
• Wear Proper Apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—
Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda,
a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use Only Dry Pot holders—Moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let the pot holders touch the hot
heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth instead of a pot holder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build-
up of pressure may cause the container to burst
and result in injury.
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 on 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.
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.
SElF ClEANING OVENS
• 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, oven racks and any utensils stored in the
appliance. Also the side rails of the oven racks must
be removed for the self-clean function to operate.
• 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.
