Care and cleaning
• Small amounts of formaldehyde
and carbon monoxide are given
off in the Self-Cleaning cycle
from fiberglass insulation and
food decomposition. Significant
exposure to these substances
can cause cancer or reproductive
harm. Exposure can be minimized
by venting with a hood or open
window and wiping out excess
food spills prior to self-cleaning.
• 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.
• Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove broiler pan, broiler grid,
oven racks, and other cookware.
Do not use your oven to clean
miscellaneous parts unless you
are instructed to do so in this Use
and Care Guide.
• Do not clean door seal. It is
essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, dam-
age, or move the seal. Clean only
parts recommended in this Use
and Care Guide.
• Keep oven vents unobstructed.
• Do not heat unopened containers.
They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause
injury.
• Use only cookware approved for
oven use. Follow cookware
manufacturer’s instructions,
especially when using glass or
plastic cookware.
• Do not store flammable materials
on or near the oven. The fumes
could create an explosion and/or
fire hazard.
• Do not repair or replace any part
of the oven unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
• Disconnect the electrical supply
before servicing the oven.
When using the oven
• Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan by covering
with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet,
or flat tray. Flaming grease out-
side of pan can be extinguished
with baking soda or, if available,
a multipurpose dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
• Always position oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is
cool. If a rack must be removed
while oven is hot, do not let pot
holder contact hot heating
elements in oven.
• Use care when opening oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
