heating elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

to burst and result in injury.
IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the
appliance during a power failure. If power fails,

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 through the center trim of the
oven. 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.
• 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.
• 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.
