SELF-CLEANING OVENS
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.
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.
Clean only the parts listed in this manual in the self-clean cycle.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the partition, rack, utensils, and
food.
Do not use any commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating
of any kind in or on the outside of the oven. Use only a ceramic cooktop
cleaner or the cleaner supplied with this appliance to clean the glass
cooktop.
Remove the nickel oven shelves from the oven before you begin the self-
cleaning cycle, or they may discolor.
If the self-clean mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the
power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
Excess spillage must be removed before cleaning and shall specify which
utensils can be left in the oven during cleaning.
VENTILATING HOOD
Clean ventilating hoods frequently.
Do not let grease accumulate on
the hood or filter.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING SURFACES
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS.
Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the
surface units or areas near the units until they have had sufficient time to
cool. Among these areas are the cook-top and the facing of the cook-top.
Do not cook on a broken cooktop.
If the cooktop should break,
cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
