• Use Only Dry Potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let the potholders touch hot
heating surface units. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers.
Buildup of pressure may cause the container to
burst and result in injury.
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 your broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain
and be kept away from the high heat of the
broiler.
• Do not cover 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 Safety Instructions
• 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.
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 all 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
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement 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 to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
