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 the oven parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

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:

• Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy

reference.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use

as described in this guide.

• 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.

• 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 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.

• 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.

• Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your oven.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the oven.

• Do not leave children alone—children should

not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the oven.

• For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

• Do not use water on grease fires.

Smother fire or flame or use a multi-purpose 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.

• 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 opening, surfaces near the opening, 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.

• Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored in an oven can ignite.

• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven

bottom, except as suggested in this guide. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

• 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 the oven door open when you are not watching the oven.

• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your oven.

• Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Guide.

Oven

• Stand away from oven when opening the door.

The hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

• Do not heat unopened food containers in the oven. Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

• Keep the oven vent ducts 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 pot holder contact the heating elements.

• Pulling out the shelf to the stop locks is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a

precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

• 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 fire.

Self-Cleaning 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.

• 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, grid 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.
