Self-Clean Oven

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.

Do not 

clean 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 or oven liners of any kind in or

around any part of the self-clean oven.

Important Safety Notice
and Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
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 substances,
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.

Save These Instructions for Future Reference

Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into
the room or over another surface element. This reduces
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or
spillage if pan is accidently bumped or reached by small
children.

Cooktop

NEVER

 leave surface units unattended, especially when

using high heat. An unattended boilover could cause
smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.

This appliance is equipped with different sized surface
elements. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to
cover element. Fitting pan size to element will improve
cooking efficiency.

GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE: NEVER

 cook on broken

cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.

Deep Fat Fryers

Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or
disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool 

before

attempting to move pan.

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.

When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan 

on

.

Cleaning Safety

Clean cooktop with caution.  Turn off all controls and wait
for appliance parts to cool 

before

 touching or cleaning.

Clean with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a
wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.

Clean only parts listed in this guide.
