Important Safety Instructions
Save These Instructions for
Future Reference
CAUTION
Before
self-cleaning the oven, remove the oven
racks, broiler pan, food and any other utensils. Wipe
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups.
CAUTION
NEVER
store items of interest to children in cabinets above
an appliance. Children climbing on the appliance or on the
appliance doors to reach items could be seriously injured.
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or
disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before at-
tempting to move pan.
Ovens
Use care when opening doors. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.
For proper oven operation and performance, do not block or
obstruct oven vent duct. When ovens are in use, the vent
and surrounding area near the vent may become hot
enough to cause burns.
Always place oven racks in desired locations while ovens
are cool. If rack must be moved while an oven is hot, do
not let potholder contact hot element in oven.
Self-Cleaning Ovens
NEVER
leave children alone or unsupervised in area where
appliance is in use or is still hot.
NEVER
allow children to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance as they could be injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in
or on it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out
of reach of small children. Children should be taught that an
appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to
play with controls or other parts of the unit.
Ventilating Hoods
Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent grease or
other flammable materials from accumulating on hood or
filter and to avoid grease fires.
Turn the fan on when flambéing foods (such as Cherries
Jubilee) under the hood.
Important Safety Notice and
Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor
of California to publish a list of substances known to the
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the
oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be
some low-level exposure to some of the listed sub-
stances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these
substances can be minimized by properly venting the
oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or
door in the room where the appliance is located during
the self-clean cycle.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS:
Never
keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the
fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very
sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an
oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds.
Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat,
margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be
equally harmful.
Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door gasket.
The gasket is essential for a good seal. Do not 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 ovens.
Wipe up excessive spillovers, especially greasy spills, before
the clean cycle to prevent smoking, flare-ups or flaming.
It is normal for the cooktop to become hot during a clean
cycle. Therefore, avoid touching the cooktop, door, window or
oven vent during a clean cycle.
