imPortant saFetY 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 center trim under the control panel.
Touching the surfaces in this area when the 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 oven burner flame or
interior of the oven or broiler drawer. Remove all utensils
from the rack before removing the rack.
• Do not use a 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.
Warning
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
flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing
a fire hazard.
• 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 saFetY 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/Aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s
recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess
residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing
damage and/or injury.
