materials accumulate in or near the range.
●
Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie
or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even
though they are dark in color. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact the surface units, areas nearby
the surface units or any interior area of the oven;
allow sufficient time for cooling, first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the
areas facing the
oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening, crevices around the
oven door and metal trim parts above the door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.

cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Guide.
●
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan, grid and other cookware.
●
Be sure to wipe up excess
before
starting the self-cleaning operation.

If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
