OVEN SAFETY
When using the oven
•Always position the oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is cool.
• Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
Grease
•Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect in vents. Wipe
spillovers immediately.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan by covering with a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming grease
outside of pan can be extinguished with
baking soda or, if available, a multipur­
pose dry chemical or foam-type extin­
guisher.
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 sub­
stances could cause cancer or reproduc­
tive 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 commer­
cial 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 utensils. 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 heat seal. It is essen­
tial for a good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage, or move the seal.
Clean only parts recommended in this
Use and Care Guide.
• 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.
• Any additions, changes, or conversions
required in order for this appliance to
satisfactorily meet the application needs
must be made by a Whirlpool service
company or Qualified Agency.
• Disconnect the electrical supply and the
gas supply at the shutoff valve near the
oven before servicing the oven.
