WARNING!
SELF-CLEANING LOWER OVEN
■
Stand away from the oven when opening
the oven door. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
■
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■
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 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 element.
■
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 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.
■
After broiling, always take any broiler
pan out of the oven and clean it. Leftover
grease in a broiler pan can catch fire next
time you use the oven.
■
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings
in or near your oven.
■
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
■
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.
■
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.
■
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
the probe, any broiler pan, grid and other
cookware.
■
Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting a self-cleaning cycle.
■
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the
power supply. Have it serviced by a
qualified technician.
■
Listen for a fan—a fan noise should be
heard sometime during the cleaning
cycle. If not, call for service before
self-cleaning again.
