SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

WARNING

 

 

WARNING  

NEVER cover any slots, 

holes, or passages in the oven bottom or 
cover an entire rack with materials such 
as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow 
through the oven and may cause carbon 
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings 
may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

 

 Use this appliance for its intended purpose as 
described in this owner’s manual.

 

 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.

 

 Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease 
in the oven may ignite. 

 

 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.

 

 Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when 
loading and unloading food from the oven. This 
helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces 
of the door and oven walls.

 

 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 which is in the center of the backguard. 
Items may overheat resulting in a risk of fire or 
burns.

 

 When using cooking or roasting bags in the 
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

 

 Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling 
is not permitted due to overheating of control 
knobs.

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. Do not use self-clean to 
clean other parts, such as grates.

 

 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.
