About Your Appliance
NEVER
use appliance as a space heater to heat
or warm a room to prevent potential hazard to the
user and damage to the appliance.
DO NOT
use
the rangetop or oven as a storage area for food or
cooking utensils.
• For proper oven performance and operation,
DO NOT
block or obstruct the oven vent duct
located on the right side of the air grille.
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is
on and for several minutes after oven is turned
off. When the oven is in use, the vent and
surrounding area become hot enough to cause
burns. After oven is turned off, DO NOT touch
the oven vent or surrounding areas until they
have had sufficient time to cool.
• Other potentially hot surfaces include
rangetop, areas facing the rangetop, oven
vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven
door, areas around the oven door and oven
window.
• The misuse of oven doors (e.g., stepping,
sitting, or leaning on them) can result in
potential hazards and/or injuries.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. DO NOT
touch
a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb
could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect
power to the appliance before removing bulb to
avoid electrical shock.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
. Disconnect the
electric power at the main fuse or circuit breaker
before replacing bulb.
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
.
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is
COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can result
in burns or electrical shock.
DO NOT
turn the temperature control on during
defrosting. Turning the convection fan on will
accelerate the natural defrosting of the food
without the heat.
BURN HAZARD
. The oven door, especially the
glass, can get hot. Danger of burning:
DO NOT
touch the glass!
This range features a self-cleaning cycle. During
this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures
in order to burn off soil and deposits. A powder
ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after
completion of the self-clean cycle.
NOTE: DO NOT
use commercial oven cleaners
inside the oven. Use of these cleaners can produce
hazardous fumes or can damage the porcelain
finishes.
DO NOT
line the oven with aluminum foil or
other materials. These items can melt or burn during
a self-clean cycle, causing permanent damage to
the oven.
DO NOT
touch the exterior portions of the oven
after self-cleaning cycle has begun, since some
parts become extremely hot to the touch!
During the first few times the self-cleaning feature
is used, there may be some odor and smoking
from the “curing” of the binder in the high-density
insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is
thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During
subsequent self-cleaning cycles, you may sense
an odor characteristic of high temperatures.
KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING
THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.
