PAGE 2
General
Misuse of appliance doors, such as stepping, leaning
or sitting on the door, may result in possible tipping
of the appliance, breakage of door and serious
injuries.
CAUTION: Do not use an appliance as a step stool
to cabinets above.
Keep area around appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and materials.
In the event of a prolonged power failure, the oven
CANNOT be operated during a power failure.
Never use your oven to warm or heat the room. No
cooking appliance should ever be used as a space
heater. This instruction is based on safety
Important Safety Instructions
considerations to prevent potential hazard to the
consumer as well as damage to the appliance.
Cooking Safety
WARNING
NEVER use appliance door as a step stool or seat
as this may result in possible tipping of the
appliance and serious injuries.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat
or warm a room. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the
oven bottom or cover the entire rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil may also trap heat
causing a fire hazard.
NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes.
Doing so restricts air to the burners and may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning.
If flame should go out during cooking, turn burner
If gas has collected and a strong gas odor is
off.
detected, wait 5 minutes for gas odor to disappear
before relighting burner.
Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
Always place oven racks in the desired positions
while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while
hot, be careful to avoid contact of pot holders with
oven burner flame.
Use aluminum foil only as instructed. Improper use of
aluminum foil may cause damage to the appliance,
affect cooking results adversely and can also result in
shock and/or fire hazards.
Do not cover broiler inset with foil. Use a broiler pan
that allows grease to drip below the insert, away from
the broiler flame to minimize chance of grease fires.
Prepared Food Warning
Follow the food manufacturer’s instructions.
If a plastic frozen food container and/or its film cover
distorts, warps or is otherwise damaged during
cooking, immediately discard the food and its
container. The food could be contaminated.
Child Safety
Do not leave children alone or unsupervised near the
appliance when it is in use or is still hot.
Children should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry,
sturdy pot holders. Always avoid reaching into oven
to place or remove food.
Do not use oven as a storage area for food or cooking
utensils. This instruction is based on safety
considerations to prevent potential hazard to user
and to the appliance.
Use caution when wearing garments made of
flammable material to avoid clothing fires. Loose
fitting or long-hanging-sleeved apparel should not be
worn while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch
utensil handles.
Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot holders may
cause burns from steam. Dish towels or other
substitutes should never be used as pot holders
because they can trail across hot burners and ignite or
get caught on appliance parts.
Never heat an unopened container in the oven.
Pressure build up may cause container to burst
resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the
oven.
Children MUST be taught that the appliance and
utensils in or on it can be hot.
Children should be taught that an appliance is not a
toy. They should not be allowed to play with controls
or other parts of the unit.
Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of
small children.
Caution: Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above an appliance. Children climbing on the
appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
An appliance should not be used as a step stool to
cabinets above.
Utensil Safety
Use only pans with handles that are easily grasped
and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily
tipped or loose handled pans. Do not use pans if their
handles twist and cannot be tightened. Pans that are
too heavy to move when filled with food may also be
hazardous. Use only glass cookware that is
recommended for use in the oven.
PAGE 3
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain
food and avoid boilovers.
Grease
Use extreme caution when moving the grease kettle
or disposing of hot grease. Hot grease is flammable.
Avoid letting grease deposits collect around the
appliance, range hood, or vent fan. Do not leave
container of grease around a cooking appliance.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat
frying cool before attempting to move or handle. In
the event of a grease fire,
Cover pan with a lid to extinguish flame and turn
burner off. Do not douse flame with water. Use a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher, if available, or
sprinkle heavily with baking soda.
do not attempt to move pan.
to items which are used infrequently and which are
safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an
appliance. Temperatures in storage areas above the
unit may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile
liquids, cleaners or aerosol spays.
Plastics
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics
away from parts of the appliance that may become
warm or hot.
Aerosol Sprays
May aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid
their use or storage near a hot appliance.
Spills or boilovers which contain grease should be
cleaned up as soon as possible. If they are allowed to
accumulate, they could create a
fire hazard.
Venting
Never block oven vent or air intakes. Do not obstruct
the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Restriction
of air flow to the burner prevents proper performance.
Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and
for several minutes after oven is turned off. Some
parts of the vent and surrounding area become hot
enough to cause burns.
Cleaning
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to
cool before touching or cleaning them.
Touching a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth
could cause the bulb to break. Should the bulb break,
disconnect power to the oven before trying to remove
the bulb to avoid electrical shock.
Clean oven with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful
to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Storage Above Oven
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surfaces,
cabinet storage should not be provided directly above
a unit. If such storage is provided, it should be limited
Important Safety Notice
and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires
the governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the State of California to cause
cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses
to warn customers of the potential exposures to such
substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the
burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to
some of the listed substances, including benzene,
formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the
incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid
petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these
substances can also be minimized by properly
venting the burners to the outdoors.
Baking Accessories
This appliance has been tested for safe performance
using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices
or accessories that are not specifically recommended
in this manual. Do not use add-on oven convection
systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not
expressly recommended in this manual can
create serious safety hazards, result in
performance problems, and reduce the life
of the components of this appliance.
