IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: OVEN SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• 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.
• 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 broil with door open. Open door
broiling is not permitted due to overheating
of control knobs.
• Extending the rack to its fully open position
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 the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
• Do not use 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 allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door. They could damage the oven or
cause severe personal injury.
WARNING: SELF-CLEANING OVEN
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
• Never leave aluminum foil in the oven
during self-cleaning. Doing so could lead to
overheating of the oven bottom and a
potential fire hazard.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
• Do not clean the oven frame seal or the
door seal. These seals are essential for a
snug fit. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the seals.
• 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. Residue from oven cleaners
will damage the inside of the oven when the
self-clean cycle is used.
• Clean only the appliance parts specified in
this manual during the self-cleaning cycle.
