WARNING

 SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans, 

shiny metal oven racks, and other utensils from the 

oven . 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 .

■   If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the 

oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it 

serviced by a qualified technician . 

■   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 the door gasket. The door gasket is 

essential for a good seal . Care should be taken not 

to rub, damage or move the gasket .

■   

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 .

 OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

 NEVER cover any slots, 

holes, or passages in the oven bottom or 

cover an entire rack with materials such as 

aluminum foil or oven liners. Doing so blocks 

air flow through the oven and may cause 

carbon monoxide poisoning. Never place foil 

or oven liners on the oven bottom. They can 

trap heat causing risk of smoke or fire.

■  Stand away from the range when opening the oven 

door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause 

burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■  Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones, 

or any type of foil or liner on the oven floor . These 

items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to 

the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire .

■  Place oven racks in desired location while oven is 

cool . If rack must be moved while oven is hot, be 

careful to avoid touching hot surfaces .

■  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 leave items on the cooktop near the oven 

vent . Items may overheat resulting in a risk of fire or 

burns .

■  Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is 

not permitted due to overheating of control knobs .
