IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
The following instructions are based on safety considerations  
and must be strictly followed to eliminate the potential risks  
of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.  
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils  
in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out  
of reach of small children. Children should be taught  
that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be  
allowed to play with controls or other parts of the unit.  
Installation and Repair  
Have your appliance installed and properly grounded by  
a qualified installer according to the installation instruc-  
tions.  
CAUTION: NEVER store items of interest to children  
in cabinets above an appliance. Children climbing on  
the appliance or on the appliance door to reach items  
could be seriously injured.  
To ensure proper operation and avoid possible injury or  
damage to unit do not attempt to adjust repair, service, or  
replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically  
recommended in this book. All of the servicing should be  
referred to a qualified installer or servicer.  
AboutYour Appliance  
To prevent potential hazard to the  
user and damage to the appliance,  
never use appliance to heat or warm  
a room.  
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage  
Do not obstruct the flow of air by  
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the ap-  
blocking the oven vent.  
pliance before operating it.  
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTE-  
RIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may  
be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior sur-  
faces of any oven become hot enough to cause burns.  
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or  
other flammable materials contact heating elements or  
interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient  
time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may be-  
come hot enough to cause burns – among these sur-  
faces are: oven vent openings and surfaces near these  
openings, oven doors, windows of oven doors.  
Keep area around appliance clear and free from combus-  
tible materials. Flammable materials should not be stored  
in an oven.  
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away  
from parts of the appliance that may become warm or  
hot.  
To prevent grease fires, do not let cooking grease or other  
flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance.  
Do not use the oven as a storage area for food or cooking  
utensils.  
CAUTION: NEVER use an appliance as a step to reach  
cabinets above. Misuse of appliance doors, such as step-  
ping, leaning or sitting on the door, may result in pos-  
sible tipping of the appliance, breakage of door, and  
serious injuries.  
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when  
exposed to heat and may be flammable. Avoid their use  
or storage near the oven.  
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as  
the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, discon-  
nect power to the appliance before removing bulb to  
avoid electrical shock.  
In Case of Fire  
Use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher or baking  
soda to smother fire or flame. Never use water on a grease  
fire.  
A fan should be heard during some bake, convect bake,  
and all broil and cleaning operations. If you do not hear  
the fan, call an authorized servicer.  
1. Turn off appliance to avoid spreading the flame.  
2. NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.  
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover an oven rack or  
oven bottom. Misuse could result in risk of electric  
shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as  
directed in this guide. Do not allow aluminum foil to  
contact heating element.  
3. Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.  
Child Safety  
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the  
appliance when it is in use or is still hot. Children should  
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appli-  
ance as they could be injured or burned.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS(continued)  
Cleaning Safety  
Cooking Safety  
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool  
before touching or cleaning. Clean with caution. Use  
care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is  
used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can  
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
NEVER heat an unopened food container in the oven. Pres-  
sure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in se-  
rious personal injury or damage to the appliance.  
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause  
burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should  
never be used as potholders because they can trail across  
hot elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.  
Clean only parts listed in this guide.  
NEVER wear loose fitting or long hanging-sleeved apparel  
while cooking. Clothing may ignite and cause burns if gar-  
ment comes in contact with heating el-  
ements.  
Self-Clean Oven  
Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential  
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, dam-  
age, or move the gasket.  
Always place oven racks in the desired  
positions while oven is cool. If a rack  
must be moved while hot, use a dry  
potholder. Do not let potholder contact  
hot element in oven.  
Do not use oven cleaners or oven liners of any kind in  
or around any part of the self-clean oven.  
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven  
racks and other utensils, and wipe off excessive  
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke or flare ups.  
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam  
escape before removing or replacing food.  
CAUTION: NEVER leave food or cooking utensils,  
etc. in the oven during the self-clean cycle.  
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manu-  
facturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/  
or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during  
cooking, immediately discard the food and its container.  
The food could be contaminated.  
Important Safety Notice  
and Warning  
Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.  
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-  
ment Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor  
of California to publish a list of substances known to the  
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm,  
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential ex-  
posures to such substances.  
Utensil Safety  
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using oven cook-  
ing bags.  
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the  
oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some  
low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, in-  
cluding carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances  
can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the out-  
doors by opening the windows and/or door in the room  
where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.  
This appliance has been tested for safe performance using  
conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or acces-  
sories that are not specifically recommended in this manual.  
Do not use add-on oven convection systems. The use of  
devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended  
in this guide can create serious safety hazards, result in per-  
formance problems, and reduce the life of the components  
of the appliance.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS:  
Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the  
fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sen-  
sitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven  
self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes  
released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and  
overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.  
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earth-  
enware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for oven ser-  
vice without breaking due to the sudden change in tem-  
perature. Follow utensil manufacturer’s instructions when  
using glass.

Care and Cleaning  
Self-Clean Oven  
Wipe up sugary and acid spillovers such as sweet pota-  
toes, tomato or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is  
acid resistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish may  
discolor if acid spills are not wiped up prior to a self-  
clean cycle.  
CAUTION:  
It is normal for parts of the wall oven to become hot  
during a clean cycle. Therefore, during a clean cycle,  
avoid touching the oven vent area, oven door and  
window.  
Setting the Controls for Self-Clean  
1. Close oven door.  
The self-clean cycle uses above normal cooking temperatures  
to automatically clean the entire oven interior.  
2. Press CLEAN pad.  
It is normal for flare-ups, smoking or flaming to occur during  
cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the  
oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-  
up of soil in the oven.  
“- - : - -” will light in the display.  
CLEAN will flash in the display. LOCK indicator  
word will appear.  
Door cannot be opened when LOCK is displayed.  
If door is not closed or locked, beeps will sound and  
“door” will flash in the display.  
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well  
ventilated to help eliminate normal odors associated with  
cleaning.

Care & Cleaning (continued)  
After Self-Cleaning  
Notes. . .  
About one hour after the end of the clean cycle, the LOCK  
indicator word will turn off. At this point, the door can be  
opened.  
When the LOCK indicator word lights in the display,  
the door cannot be opened. To prevent damage to the  
door, do not force door open when the LOCK indicator  
word is displayed.  
Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash which can  
be removed with a damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates  
that the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be  
removed during the next clean cycle.  
A fan will automatically turn on during the self-  
clean cycle and will automatically turn off after the  
clean cycle when the oven has cooled. If it does  
not operate, contact an authorized servicer.  
If the oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide  
smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and embossed rack  
supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to restore  
ease of movement.  
If more than 30 seconds elapse between pressing the  
CLEAN pad and pressing a  
or  
pad, the  
program will automatically return to the previous  
display.  
A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acid or  
sugary foods were not wiped up before the clean cycle.  
This discoloration is normal and will NOT affect perfor-  
mance.  
The first few times the oven is cleaned, some smoke  
and odor may be detected. This is normal and will lessen  
or disappear with use. If the oven is heavily soiled, or  
if the broiler pan was accidently left in the oven,  
excessive smoke and odor may occur.  
To Delay the Start of a Clean Cycle:  
1 - 3. Follow steps 1-3 on previous page.
