How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove adhesive left from
packaging tape on new appliances is an application of
a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil
or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to
soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to
thoroughly clean and protect the surface.
NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the
chrome trim on oven parts. It cannot be removed if it
is baked on.
Write down the model and
serial numbers.
You’ll find them on a label on the front of the lower
oven behind the oven door.
These numbers are also on the Consumer Product
Ownership Registration Card that came with your
oven. Before sending in this card, please write these
numbers here:

IMPOR TANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to
the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances.
• The fiberglass insulation in self-cleaning
ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure
can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
• Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this guide.
• Have the installer show you the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance
with the provided Installation Instructions.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
your oven unless it is specifically recommended
in this guide. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE OVEN POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY
REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
• Do not leave children alone—Children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area where
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
the door. They could damage the oven or cause
severe personal injury.
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE AN OVEN. CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE OVEN TO REACH
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• Do not store flammable materials in an oven.
• Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the oven.
• Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from your
oven.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
oven. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot heating elements and
may cause severe burns.
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.
• Use only dry pot holders—Moist
or damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do
not let pot holders touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such
cloths can catch fire on a hot heating element.
• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance from
your oven.
• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your oven.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in
or near the oven.
• Be sure the oven is securely installed in a
cabinet that is firmly attached to the house
structure. Never allow anyone to climb, sit,
stand or hang on the oven door.
• Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother fire or flame or use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven
off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.

Important Safety Instructions

IMPOR TANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
• Do not touch the heating elements or the
interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may
be hot enough to burn even though they are dark
in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact, any
interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent
openings and surfaces near the openings, crevices
around the oven door, the edges of the door
window and metal trim parts above the door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be
safe to eat.
Oven
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils, or food in the oven when not in use.
• Do not use oven for storage area. Items
stored in an oven can ignite.
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan
out of the oven and clean it. Leftover grease
in the broiler pan can catch fire next time you
use the pan.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or
near your oven.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms,
except as suggested in this guide. Improper
installation of aluminum foil may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire.
Self-Cleaning Oven
• Stand away from the oven when opening the
oven door. The hot air or steam which escapes
can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from
grease buildup.
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let the pot holder
contact the heating elements in the oven.
• Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the oven.
• Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a
precaution against burns from touching the hot
surfaces of the door or the oven walls.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in
the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• 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 oven. Residue from oven cleaners
will damage the inside of the oven when the
self-clean cycle is used.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan and other cookware.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
