IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING

Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

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 cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING This product contains one or more chemical known to the State of California to

cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Self-clean ovens can cause low-level exposure to some of these substances, including carbon

monoxide, during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

WARNING

■ Use this appliance only for its intended purpose

as described in this Owner’s Manual.

■ Be sure your appliance is properly installed and

grounded by a qualified installer 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 manual. All other servicing should be transferred to a qualified technician.

■ Before performing any service, disconnect the

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 an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

■

■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot

CAUTION: Do not store items of

interest to children in cabinets above an oven

- children climbing on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured.

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 in place of pot holders.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ Never use your appliance for warming or

heating the room.

■ 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. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening and crevices around the oven door.

■ Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven

bottom. Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a shock or fire hazard.

■ Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors or

control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur.

■ Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to

at least an internal temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an internal temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

■

Do not store or use flammable materials in or near an oven, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.

WARNING

KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE OVEN

Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING

STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING

■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up

a flaming pan.

■ If there is a fire in the oven during baking,

smother the fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

WARNING

■ Stand away from the oven when opening the

oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

Grease in the oven may ignite.

Place oven racks in desired location while oven is

■

cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven.

■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■

Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they contact hot surfaces, causing severe burns.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the oven. Grease in the oven or near the oven may ignite.

■ If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean,

turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.

■ Pulling out the standard racks to their stop-locks

or the extension rack to its fully open position is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

■ Do not leave items such as paper, cooking

utensils or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.

■

Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a shock or fire hazard.

WARNING

The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven. Follow these instructions for safe operation.

■ Do not touch oven surfaces during self-clean

operation. Keep children away from the oven during self-cleaning. Failure to follow these instructions may cause burns.

■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny

silver colored oven racks (on some models), the probe, any aluminum foil, and any broiler pan, grid, and other cookware. Only porcelain coated oven racks may be left in the oven.

■ Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe

grease and food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease may ignite, leading to smoke damage to your home.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the

oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

■ 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.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
