• 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.
Power Failure
If power failure occurs, the electric ignitors will not work. No attempt
should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure. Make
sure the oven control is in the “OFF” position.
Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected only
when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will
function properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or may not
affect range operation, depending on how severe the power loss is. If the
range is in the self-clean cycle when the power failure occurs, wait until
power is restored and allow door to unlock automatically. Turn all controls
off and restart self-clean cycle again, according to instructions.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

Self-Clean Oven
(cont.)
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks and other
utensils and wipe up excessive spillovers to prevent excessive smoke, flare-ups
or flaming.
• This range features a cooling fan which operates automatically during a clean
cycle. If the fan does not turn on, cancel the clean operation and contact an
authorized servicer.
• It is normal for the rangetop cooking surface of the range to become hot
during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the rangetop cooking surface
during a clean cycle should be avoided.
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
openingthe windows and/or door in the room where the appliance is located
duringthe 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.
