Overview

This document is a user manual for a Maytag wall oven, providing comprehensive information on its operation, maintenance, and safety.

Function Description

The Maytag wall oven is designed for baking, roasting, and broiling a variety of foods. It features an electronic clock and oven control that manages time-of-day, timer functions, bake, broil, and programmed operations. The oven can be set for immediate start or delayed start cooking, allowing users to program the oven to turn on and off automatically at specific times. The electronic control includes a self-diagnostic feature that displays fault codes in case of a problem.

The oven is equipped with two lock-stop oven racks, one "straight" and one "off-set," for flexible food placement. For models with a lower oven, it operates with a mechanical control knob for temperature setting. A cooling fan automatically turns on during cooking operations to ensure the longevity of the clock and oven controls. The oven light is controlled by a rocker switch on the control panel.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Oven Temperature Range: The electronic control allows setting oven temperatures from 200°F to 450°F (100°C to 230°C) for baking and roasting. The thermostat can be adjusted up to +35°F hotter or -35°F cooler from the factory setting.
  • Timer Range: The timer can be set from 1 minute (0HR:01) up to 9 hours and 50 minutes (9 HR:50).
  • Cook Time Range: The maximum cook time that can be set for programmed operations is 11 hours and 55 minutes.
  • Broil Settings: Two heat selections are available for broiling: Hi and Lo.
  • Oven Light: Uses a 40-watt appliance bulb.
  • Automatic Shut-off: The oven will automatically turn off if left on for 12 hours.
  • Power Interruption: The new temperature adjustment will be remembered if power is interrupted.

Usage Features

Setting the Clock and Timer:

  • Clock: Press the CLOCK pad, then use the ▲ and ▼ pads to set the time. Pressing once changes the time by one minute; pressing and holding changes it in 10-minute increments. The display flashes until the clock is set.
  • Timer: Press the TIMER pad, then use the ▲ and ▼ pads to set the desired time. Changes occur in 1-minute, 5-minute, or 10-minute increments depending on the total time set. A continuous beep signals the end of the timing operation.

Setting the Oven Controls for Baking/Roasting:

  1. Position racks when the oven is cool.
  2. Press the OVEN TEMP pad.
  3. Use the ▲ or ▼ pads to set the desired temperature.
  4. The oven will preheat, and a beep will sound when the set temperature is reached (approximately 10-15 minutes).
  5. Place food in the center of the oven, ensuring 1-2 inches of space between utensils and oven walls.
  6. For lower ovens (select models), turn the LOWER OVEN TEMP knob to the desired temperature and allow 10-15 minutes for preheating.

Broiling:

  1. Press the BROIL pad, then use the ▲ or ▼ pads to select Hi or Lo broil.
  2. Place the broiler pan on the recommended rack position (refer to the Broiling Chart).
  3. Broil with the oven door opened about 4 inches to prevent excessive browning and smoking.
  4. Check doneness by cutting a slit in the meat.

Programmed Oven Operations (Bake By Time):

  • Immediate Start: Press COOK TIME, set cooking duration with ▲/▼ pads, then press OVEN TEMP and set the desired temperature with ▲/▼ pads. The oven will turn on automatically.
  • Delayed Start: Press COOK TIME, set cooking duration. Press OVEN STOP, set the desired turn-off time. Press OVEN TEMP, set the desired temperature. The oven will calculate the start time and turn on automatically.

Oven Racks:

  • Two lock-stop racks are provided. The off-set rack is recommended for upper positions when using two racks.
  • Removal: Pull rack to "lock-stop" position, tilt up, and continue pulling.
  • Replacement: Place rack on supports, tilt up, and push toward the rear, then pull out to "lock-stop" to ensure correct placement.
  • Rack Positions: Rack 4 (top) for thin foods/two-rack baking; Rack 3 for baking/thicker meats; Rack 2 for one-rack baking/roasting; Rack 1 (bottom) for larger foods/angel food cake/pie shells/two-rack baking.
  • Avoid covering oven bottom or entire racks with aluminum foil.
