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.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or
passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack
with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks
air ow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap
heat, causing a re 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 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. 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 o 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 re.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook
in proper bakeware and always use the oven racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR OVEN
Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch re. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease lters should be kept
clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch re. 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
Storage In or On Appliance—Flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven, near
surface units or in the storage drawer, broiler drawer,
warmer drawer or lower oven. This includes paper,
plastic, and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plastic
ware, and towels, as well as ammable liquids. Do
not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near
the oven.
Do not store items of interest to children in
the cabinets above an appliance. Children climbing on
the appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not leave children alone. Children should not
be left alone or unattended in the area where an
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to
sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
DO NOT TOUCH INTERIOR OVEN BURNER OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE WALL OVEN UNTIL

hot even though the ames are not visible. Areas near
the burner may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other ammable materials touch these areas until they
have had sucient time to cool. Among these areas
are the oven vent openings, the surfaces near these
openings, oven door, window and broiler drawer.
Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other ammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
NEVER use this appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the
oven.
Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires. Smother
the re with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch re 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.
Remove the oven doors from any unused appliance if
it is to be stored or discarded.
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers. Buildup of
pressure may cause the container to burst and result
in injury.
IMPORTANTDo not attempt to operate the
appliance during a power failure. If power fails,
always turn o the appliance. If the appliance is not
turned o and the power resumes, it will begin to

Some models are equipped with a blower which runs in the bak-
ing mode to keep all internal components at a cool temperature. The blower
may keep running even if the oven has been turned o, until the components
have cooled down.
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented through the upper control panel trim. When the oven is on,
warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results. Steam or moisture may appear
near the oven vent. This is normal
Arranging Oven Racks
Protective Liners Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any
other part of the oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce
poor baking results, and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During
self clean temperatures, the oven will be hot enough to melt foil. Only use aluminum
foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result
in risk of electric shock or re.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When
cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well as the oven racks, will become very
hot which can cause burns.
ALWAYS ARRAnGE OvEn RACkS WHEn THE OvEn IS COOL (PRIOR TO
OPERATInG THE OvEn).
To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack
and slide out.
To replace an oven rack, t the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front

Oven Vent and Racks
Oven vent Location
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2" - 4" (5-10cm) 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.
Oven Ignition
Do not attempt to light the oven burners during a power failure. The oven burner valves will not open
up and will prevent the gas from owing through the burner valves to the burners. In the event of a power failure,
turn the Temperature Control knob to OFF. When power resumes, turn the Temperature Control knob back to the
desired temperature.
When you turn the oven on, the glow bar igniter begins to heat. When the lighter is hot enough, in less than 1
minute, the gas ows into the burner and is ignited. The igniter glows bright orange when hot. It cycles on and o
with the thermostat and will glow whenever the burner is on.

Preheating
Preheating the oven is suggested when searing rare
steak. (Remove your broiler pan before preheating.
Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set
the control (s) to BROIL as instructed in this Use & Care
Guide.
To broil
Broil on side until the food is browning; turn and cook
on the second side. Season and serve. Always pull rack
out to the stop position before turning or removing
food.
Determine broiling times
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not
only depends on the distance from burner, but on the
thickness of meat, fat content and doneness preferred.
The rst side usually requires a few minutes longer than
second. Frozen meats also require additional time.
Broiling tips
The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to
drain and be kept away from high heat of the broiler.
DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover
the grid with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
Broiler clean-up tips
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler
pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid
with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler
pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed.
Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot.
Pour o grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each
use. If necessary, use soap-lled steel wool pads.
Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.
To set for Broiling
1. Press BROIL pad.
2. Press the or pad. Press again the for HI
broil or for LO broil. Most foods can be broiled
at the HI broil setting. Select the LO broil setting
to avoid excess browning or drying of foods that
should be broiled to the well-done stage.
4. Place the insert on the broiler pan, then place the
Broiler Pan
Grid
Broiling Information
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat
by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. Be
sure you center your broiler pan directly under the broil
element for best results. Always use the broiler pan
and grid supplied with the appliance for broiling. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping grease to drain
and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
DO NOT use the pan without its insert. DO NOT cover
the insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
(Supplied with this Model)
Setting Oven Controls
Should an oven re occur, close the oven
door and broiler drawer and turn o the oven. If the
re continues, throw baking soda on the re or use a
re extinguisher. DO nOT put water or our on the re.
Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease
re to spread and cause personal injury.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts
when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior
and exterior, as well as the oven racks, will become
very hot which can cause burns.
For Best Baking Results
Fully preheat oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, or breads.
For best results when baling using one at oven rack,
place bakeware on oven position 4 and place pans
as shown below.
For best results when baking using two at oven
racks, place bakeware on oven positions 2 and 4
and place pans as shown below.
Do not open oven door too often. Opening the door
will reduce the temperature in the oven.
Dark or dull pans and glass absorb more heat
than shiny bakeware resulting in dark or over
browning of foods. To prevent this, it may be
necessary to reduce oven temperature or cook
time to prevent over browning of some foods. Dark
pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are
recommended for cakes, cookies, and muns.

Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some
smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away
from the element. Always watch food carefully to
prevent burning.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh
beef is popular, but you should know that cooking
it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning
organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book,
Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The
