Be sure to have an appropriate foam-type fire
extinguisher available, visible, and easily located
near the appliance.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the oven 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. Touching
surfaces in this area when the oven is on may
cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-
sensitive 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 in hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element in oven. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot
heating elements in the oven. 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.
Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as
suggested in the manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or
fire.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook
in proper cookware and always use the over racks.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR OVEN
Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be
sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool.
Cleaning a hot oven can cause burns.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
............................. all parts flee of
grease that could catch fire. Do not allow grease to
accumulate.
• Always followthe 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.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning
hoods.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
Clean only the parts listed in this manual. Before
using self-clean, remove the broiler pan, any food,
utensils, and cookware from the oven. Remove
oven racks unless otherwise instructed.
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 oven.
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.
For models factory-equipped with a power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. For maximum safety, the power cord must
be plugged into an electrical outlet that is the correct
voltage, is correctly polarized, and is properly
grounded in accordance with local codes. It is the
personal responsibility of the consumer to have the
appropriate outlet with the correct, properly grounded
wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
See the installation instructions packaged with this
appliance for complete installation and grounding
instructions.
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.
Oven vent location
Type of oven racks
The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the
oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting
is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results. Do not block oven vent.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as
well as the oven racks, will become very hot which can
cause burns.

Oven Rack Descriptions
• Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be
used for most cooking needs and may be placed in
most oven rack positions.
The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional
stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design.
The offset design positions the base of the rack about
half of a rack position lower than the flat rack and may
be used in most oven rack positions.
Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset
oven racks
To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the oven).
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it
reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly
and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both
sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward
slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure
oven racks are level before using.
Air circulation in the oven
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of
2 inches (5 cm) around the cookware for proper air circula-
tion. Be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other,
the oven door, sides, or back of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around cookware for even
heat to reach the food.
