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 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, 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.
(10) SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 enameled (not shiny) 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 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.
Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. Birds are
extremely sensitive to the fumes released during an
oven self-clean cycle. Fumes may be harmful or fatal
to birds. Move birds to a well-ventilated room.
(11) Safety Tips for Operation
Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapour.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air into the range
and ventilation air away from the range.
Ventilation: it is recommended that the unit be set under
a powered, vented exhaust hood of sufficient size and
capacity.
Before installing the range, you must locate and secure
the included anti-tip bracket to the wall for your range.
The use of cabinets for storage above the appliance may
result in a potential burn hazard. Combustible items may
ignite; metallic items may become hot and cause burns.
If a cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be
reduced by installing a range hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7cm) beyond the
bottom of the cabinets.
The appliance shall not be used for space heating. This
information is based on safety considerations.
All openings in the wall behind the appliance and in the
floor under the appliance shall be sealed.
It is not necessary to install non-combustible
materials behind the range below the counter
top height.
The minimum distance from the side of the
range above the counter top to combustible
sidewalls must be at least 10 inches.
