Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven is
vented through the right rear coil element or at right side
of the front panel and visible when the oven door is
open. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven
is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent.
These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of oven/warmer drawer (if equipped)
Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location
while oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) is cool. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and
be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth.
Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAN-
ING YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are
flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the
hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
• In the self-cleaning cycle, only clean the parts listed
in this Use and Care Guide. Before self-cleaning the
oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods
from the oven.
• 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 door gasket—The door gasket is essen-
tial for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or move the gasket.
• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left
in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
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 venti-
lated room.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
