WARNING
SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven.
Follow these instructions for safe operation.
■ Do not touch oven surfaces during self-clean
operation. Keep children away from the oven during
self-cleaning. Failure to follow these instructions
may cause burns.
■ Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans,
shiny metal oven racks, and other utensils from the
oven. Only porcelain-coated oven racks may be left
in the oven.
■ Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease
and food soils from the oven. Excessive amount
of grease may ignite leading to smoke damage to
your home.
■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it
serviced by a qualified technician.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during
the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to
another well-ventilated room.

WARNING
OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots,
holes, or passages in the oven bottom or
cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil or oven liners. Doing so blocks
air flow through the oven and may cause
carbon monoxide poisoning. Never place foil
or oven liners on the oven bottom. They can
trap heat causing risk of smoke or fire.
■ 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.
■ Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones,
or any type of foil or liner on the oven floor. These
items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to
the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.
■ Place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, be
careful to avoid touching hot surfaces.
■ Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils,
or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in
an oven can ignite.
■ Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven
vent. Items may overheat resulting in a risk of fire or
burns.
■ Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is
not permitted due to overheating of control knobs.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film
with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance
surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film.
Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the
first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from
packaging tape on new appliances is an application of
a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a
soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE:
The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It
cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Consider recycling options for your appliance packaging
material.
