important Safety instructions

•When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

•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--Donot 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.

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.

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.

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.
