IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
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 gray porcelain-coated oven racks may be
left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean other
parts, such as drip pans or bowls.
■ 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 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.
■ Do not use a protective coating to line the oven and
do not use commercial oven cleaner unless certified
for use in a self-cleaning oven.
WARNING
OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ 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.
■ Do not use the oven if a heating element develops
a glowing spot during use or shows other signs of
damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating element
may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock
hazard. Turn the oven off immediately and have
the heating element replaced by a qualified service
technician.
■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■ Keep the oven free from grease build-up. 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, do not
let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven.
■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■ 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.
■ 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.
