IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Self-Cleaning Lower Oven:
• Stand away from the cooking center when
opening the oven door. The hot air or steam
which escapes can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
• Do not heat unopened food containers in the
oven. Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or
near your oven.
• Keep the cooking center clean and free of
accumulations of grease or spillovers, which
may ignite.
• Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the cooking center.
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled
when hot, do not let pot holder contact heating
units in the oven.
• Pulling out the shelf 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.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
• Do not store anything in your oven. These items
may catch fire, and plastic items may melt.
Always keep the oven clear and free of items that
may burn.
• Do not line the oven bottom with aluminum
foil. Do not use aluminum foil except as
suggested in this guide.
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan out
of the oven and clean it. Leftover grease on the
broiler pan can catch fire the next time you use
the pan.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• 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-
cleaning cycle is used.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning cycle.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan and other cookware.
• Listen for a fan— a fan noise should be heard
sometime during the cleaning cycle. If not, call
for service before self-cleaning again.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
