IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
• Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some
models). Stand to the side of the oven
when opening the door of a hot oven. Let
hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
Touching surfaces in this area when the
oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not
place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or
near the oven vent. These items can melt
or ignite.
• Placement of oven racks - Always place
oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven
in hot, do not let potholder contact hot
heating element in oven. Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Remove all bakeware and
utensils before moving the rack.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat
to drain away from the high heat of the
broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with
aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease
could ignite.
• Protective 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.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom.
Always cook in proper bakeware and
always use the oven racks.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Save these instructions for future reference.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR OVEN
Before manually cleaning any
part of the oven, be sure all controls are
turned off and the oven is cool. Cleaning a
hot oven can cause burns.
Clean the oven regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Do not
allow grease to accumulate.
Always follow the manufacturer's recom-
mended directions for use of kitchen cleaners
and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue
from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS (some models)
• Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
Before using self-clean, remove the broiler
pan, any food, utensils, and bakeware
from the oven. Remove oven racks unless
otherwise instructed.
• 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.
• 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.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-clean
cycle of any oven. Move birds to another
well-ventilated room.
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 cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harms, and it requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposures to such
substances.
