Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door or warmer drawer

(if equipped)—Stand to the side of the range when
opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam
escape before you remove or replace food in the oven/
warmer drawer.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent

is located at the center rear of the cooktop. 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.

ik WARNING

NEVER cover any slots, holes or

passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air

flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide

poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a

fire hazard.

• 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 CLEANING

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 essential

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.

ik CAUTION

¡The

health of some birds is extremely

sensitive to the fumes given off during the self­
cleaning cycle of the range. Move the birds to another

well ventilated room.
