• Do not heat unopened contain-
ers. 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.
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 mini-
mized 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 gasket. It is
essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, dam-
age, or move the gasket. Clean
only parts recommended in this
Use and Care Guide.
