SELF-CLEANING OVEN WARNINGS
WARNING
Follow basic precautions when installing and using this range to reduce the risk
of fire, electrical shock, injury, or death to persons, including:
Do not leave children unattended near the range during a self-cleaning cycle.
The outside surfaces of the range get hot enough to burn if touched.
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door after a self-cleaning
cycle. The oven will be VERY HOT and the escaping hot air and steam can
cause burns.
Remove all racks and other utensils from the oven before starting a self clean
cycle. The oven racks may become damaged, and foreign objects could ignite
if left within the oven cavity.
Wipe off any excess spillage before using the self-cleaning operation.
Remove any broiler pans, all cookware, oven probe, and any aluminum foil
before using the self-cleaning operation.
Never self-clean with the lower drawer or drawer pan placed in the oven.
If the self-cleaning operation malfunctions, turn off the oven, disconnect the
power supply, and contact a qualified service technician.
Do not use oven cleaners. Commercial oven cleaners or oven liners should
NEVER be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners
will damage the inside of the oven during a self-cleaning operation.
Nickel oven shelves should be removed from the oven during a self-cleaning
cycle. Porcelain-coated oven shelves may be cleaned in the oven during a self-
cleaning cycle.
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.
PROPER COOKING OF MEAT AND
POULTRY
Make sure all meat and poultry is cooked thoroughly. Meat should always be
cooked to an internal temperature of 160 °F (71 °C). Poultry should always be
cooked to an internal temperature of 180 °F (82 °C). Cooking these foods to
these minimally safe temperatures can help protect you and your family from
foodbourne illnesses.
