IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• DO NOT touch heating elements,

surfaces near them, or interior oven
surfaces. These may be hot enough to
cause burns even though they are
dark in color. During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or flammable
material contact the elements or hot
surfaces until they have had time to
cool, Other surfaces near the oven
vent openings, oven door, and
window may also be hot enough to
cause burns.

• PLACE OVEN RACKS in the

desired position while the oven is
cool. If racks must be moved while

oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact the hot oven element.

• AFTER BROILING, always take the

broiler pan and grid out of the oven
and clean them. Leftover grease in the

broiler pan could catch fire the next

time you use your oven.

• ALWAYS USE care when opening

the oven door. Let hot air and steam
escape before moving foods.

• NEVER USE aluminum foil to line the

oven bottom. Improper use of foil
could start a fire, or electrical shock

could result.

• NEVER BLOCK the oven vent

opening.

• CLEAN ONLY the parts listed in this

manual. Follow all cleaning
instructions.

• NEVER RUB, move or damage the

door gasket on self-cleaning ranges.

• NEVER TRY to clean utensils,

cookware, removable parts or broiler
pan and grid in the self-clean cycle.

• DO NOT USE oven cleaners - No

commercial oven cleaner or protective
coating of any kind, should be used in
or around any part of the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

NOTICE!

The California Safa 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 their
customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in a
self-cleaning oven will give off
a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning
cycle. Exposure can be
minimized by venting with an
open door or window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.

IMPORTANT: The health of
some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle
of any range. Move birds to
another well-ventilated room.

READ AND UNDERSTAND
THIS INFORMATION

NOW!

Be sure everyone in your home
knows what to do in case of
fire. Never use water on a
grease fire; it will only spread
the flames.

OVEN FIRE:

Do not try to move the pan!

1. Close the oven door and turn

controls off.

2. If fire continues carefully open the

door, throw baking soda on the
fire, or use a dry chemical, foam,

4 or halón type extinguisher.
