When using the oven
•
Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.

Care and cleaning
•
Small amounts of formaldehyde
and carbon monoxide are given
off in the Self-Cleaning cycle
from fiberglass insulation and
food decomposition. Significant
exposure to these substances
can cause cancer or reproductive
harm. Exposure can be mini-
mized by venting with a hood or
open window and wiping out
excess food spills prior to self-
cleaning.
•
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.
•
Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove broiler pan, broiler grid,
oven racks, and other cookware.
Do not use your oven to clean
miscellaneous parts unless you
are instructed to do so in this Use
and Care Guide.
•
Do not clean door gasket. It is
essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, dam-
age, or move the gasket. Clean
only parts recommended in this
Use and Care Guide.
