IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
Storage In or On Appliance—Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface burners, or in the warmer drawer (if equipped). This includes paper, plastic, and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plastic ware, and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.
Do not leave children alone - Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance, including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer, or lower double oven.
Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the appliance or on the backguards of ranges. Children climbing on or near the appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not allow children to climb or play around the appliance. The weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the appliance to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury. An open drawer when hot may cause burns.
Stepping, leaning, or sitting on the door or drawers of this appliance can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the appliance.
WARNING
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil or aftermarket oven liners. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Do not use oven or warmer drawer (if equipped) for storage.
Never use your appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance.
CAUTION
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Grease may catch fire if it becomes too hot.
Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Cover the fire with a pan lid or use baking soda.
Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot cooking areas. Do not use towels or other bulky cloths.
Do not heat unopened food containers - Buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Do not touch surface burners or elements, areas near these burners or elements, interior surfaces of the oven, or the warmer drawer (if equipped). Surface burners and elements may be hot even though they appear cool. Areas near surface burners and elements may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they are cool. These areas may include the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, oven vent areas, oven door, and oven window.
Do not attempt to operate the appliance during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the appliance. If the appliance is not turned off and the power resumes, electric surface elements may resume operation when power is restored. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and the oven function.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching surfaces in this area when the oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heatsensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or ignite.
Placement of oven racks - Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot burner or element in oven.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and utensils before moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook in proper cookware and always use the oven racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials or devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as recommended for baking, such as lining cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or warmer drawer (some models). 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.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
CAUTION
Before manually cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool. Cleaning a hot oven can cause burns.
Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire.
Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use of kitchen cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Clean ventilating hoods frequently - Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning vent hoods.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF CLEANING OVENS
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the appliance.
Use the Self Clean cycle to clean only the parts listed in this manual.
Before using Self Clean, remove the broiler pan, any food, utensils, and cookware from the oven, storage drawer or warming drawer (if equipped). Remove oven racks unless otherwise instructed.
Some birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self Clean cycle of any oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This reduces the risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent, or manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the power to the appliance at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.
Remove the oven door from any unused oven if it is to be stored or discarded.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.
Handle halogen lights (if equipped) with paper towels or soft gloves. Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing the bulb.

Rack placement |
Follow the instructions in “Oven Control Features” on starting on page 12. |
|
When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the oven. |
|
|
Preheat |
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Insert food |
|
immediately after the beep. |
|
|
Checking food |
Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may reduce baking perfor- |
|
mance. |
|
|
Food placement |
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation. |

|
|
Broiling / Roasting |
|
|
Broiling pan |
For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from |
|
the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the |
|
insert helps prevent grease splatters. |
|
If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance, they may be purchased from Frigid- |
