NEVER usa an appliance as a step to reach cabinets above,

Misuse of appliance door, such as stepping, leaning or sitting on the dooh may result in possible tipping of the

appliance, breakage of door, and serious injuries, distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking,

To prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the

appliance, do not use appliance as a space heater to heat or

warm a room. Also, do not use the oven as a storage area for

food or cooking utensils. Do not obstruct the flow of air by blocking the oven venL

DO NOT TOUCH HFATING ELEMENTS OR iNTERiOR SURFACESOF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even

though they are dark in color, interior surfaces of any oven

become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns - among these surfaces are: oven vent opening, surface near this opening,

oven door and window of oven door. Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth asthe

bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power to

the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock

NEVER use aluminum foil to cover an oven rack or oven bottom. Misuse could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this

guide.

Cooking Safety

Never heat an unopened food container in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the appliance.

Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause burns

used as potholders because they can trail across hot elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.

Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or long hanging-sleeved

apparel should not be worn while cooking. Clothing may ignite and cause burns if garment comes in contact with heating

elements. Always place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is

cool. Slide oven rack outto add or remove food, using dry, sturdy potholders. Always avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry potholder. Do not let potholder contact hot element in oven.

Use racks only in the oven in which they were shipped/pur- chased.

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 guide. Do not use

element covers, stove top grills or add-on oven convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this guide can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

If pan issmaller than element, a portion of the element will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or potholder.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven service

NEVER leave surface units unattended especially when using high heat. An unattended boilover could cause smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.

This appliance is equipped with different size surface elements.

Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to cover element. Fitting pan sizeto element will improve cooking efficiency.

CoimEmements

To prevent damage to removable heating elements, do not

immerse, soak or clean in a dishwasher or self-clean oven. A damaged element could short resulting in a fire or shock

hazard. Make sure drip bowls are in place as absence of these bowls

during cooking could damage wiring. ProtectEve Liners: Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the

manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

Deep Fat Fryers

Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting

to move pan.

Do not clean 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 or oven liners of any kind in or around any paRRof the self-dean oven.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils, and wipe off excessive spillovers to prevent

self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the cooktop during a clean cycle should be avoided.

important Safety Notice and

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 potential exposures to such substances,

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some low-level

exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide, Exposure to these substances can be minimized by

properly venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the

windows and/or door in the room where the appliance is

located during the self-dean cycle, UMPORTANT NO]]CE REGARDUNG PET BURDS: Never keep

pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may

be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware

may be equally harmful

Surface Controls

Oven Racks

, Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.

The oven has two racks. All racks are designed with a lock- stop edge.

To remove:

2. Lift up on the front of the rack and puHHout.

To replace:

Place rack on the rack supports in the oven

2. Tilt the front end up slightly. Slide rack back until it clears the Hock-stopposition.

3. Lower front and slide back into the oven.

Do not cover an entire rack with aluminum foil or place foil on the oven bottom. Raking results will be affected and

damage may occar to the oven bottom.

Haft Rack Accessory

A half rack, to increase oven capac- ity, is available as an accessory, It fits

in the left, upper portion of the oven and provides space for a vegetable

dish when a large roaster is on the lower rack, Contact your dealer for

the "HALFRACK" Accessory Kit or call 1-800-688-8408.

(select models}

Select range models are equipped with an

EasyRackTM. This rack offers a convenient place to grasp

o Avoid touching cooktop, door. window or oven vent area

Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish or around any part of the oven. They wiil damage the

finish or parts.

6. Wipe up sugary and acidic spUiovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato, or mUk-based sauces. Porceiain enamei

discoior if acidic spiiis are not wiped up before a seif-ciean cycie.

To set Self-Clean:

Note: Oven temperature must be bellow 400° Fto program a dean cycie.

1. Close the oven door.

2. Move door lock lever right to the locked position.

The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures

to automatically clean the oven interior. Do not force the oven door or lock lever open. This may result in exposure to high

temperatures and be a burn hazard. It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur during

cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-

up of soii in the oven. During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well

ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.

Before Sdf-Cmeaning

1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The light may burn

2. Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the oven. The oven racks wiii discolor and may not slide easily

after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed.

3. Clean oven frame, door frame, area outside of gasket, and around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive

cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The self-cleaning process does not

clean these areas. They should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking

on during the clean cycle. (The gasket is the seal around the oven

door and window}.

4. To prevent damage, do not clean or

rub the gasket around the oven

door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.

5. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom. This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming

during the clean cycle.
