READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be
used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the
self-clean cycle is used.
■
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.
■
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the racks,
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
■
Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
■
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have
it serviced by a qualified technician.
■
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

■
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■
Keep the oven vents unobstructed.
■
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■
Place the oven rack in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled
when hot, do not let pot holder contact the
heating elements.
■
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■
Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a
precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
■
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■
Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items
stored in an oven can ignite.
■
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
■
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms,
except as suggested in this manual. Improper
installation of aluminum foil may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire.
■
Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
■
If you should have a grease fire in the broiler
pan, press the
CLEAR/OFF
pad and keep the
oven door closed to contain fire until it
burns out.
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
WARNING!
OVEN
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
WARNING:
NEVER
cover
any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom
or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
