The
fiberglass insulation in self-clean 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.
●
Be sure your appliance is properly instilled

●
Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the range.
●
Always keep combustible
curtains or drapes a safe distance from your

●
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door, drawer or range top. They could
damage the range and even tip it over, causing
severe personal injury.
●
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot surface units or
heating elements and may cause severe burns.
c
Use only dry pot holders—moist or
damp pot holders on hot surfaces may
result in bums from steam. Do not let
pot holders touch hot surface units or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface unit or
heating element.

Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact
the heating elements.
●
Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a
precaution against burns from touching the

●
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
●
Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
●
Do not use oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
●
Do not leave paper products, cooking
or food in the oven when not in use.
●
After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of
the range and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler
pan can catch on fire the next time you use the pan.
●
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on
or near your range.
Self-cleaning Oven
●
Do not clean the 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.
