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

and grounded by a qualified technician in

accordance with the provided Installation

not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.

Teach children not to play with the controls

or any other part of the range.

●

Never leave the oven door open when you are

not watching the range.

●

Always keep combustible

curtains or drapes a safe distance from your

ran~.

●

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.

●

Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot

holders and other linens a safe distance from

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out
by covering with baking soda or, if available,
a multi-purpose dry chemical or a foam-type fire
extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven
control to OFF or use a chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.

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 the surface units, areas nearby the surface
units or any interior area of the oven; allow

sufficient time for cooling, first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the

areas facing the

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 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
hot surfaces of the door or oven

●

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.

●

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
