READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■
Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
■
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
the shelves, any broiler pan, grid and
other cookware.
■
Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven
drawer pan in the upper 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.
■
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.
■
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 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.
SELF-CLEANING UPPER OVEN
■
Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
■
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■
Place the oven shelves in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let
pot holder contact the heating elements.
■
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. The lowest
position “R” is not designed to slide.
■
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■
Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
■
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
■
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■
Make sure any broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
■
If you should have a grease fire in a broiler
pan, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and keep
the oven door closed to contain fire until
it burns out.
■
Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven
drawer pan in the upper oven.
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape
can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
UPPER OVEN
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
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.
