IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Door—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.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is
vented below the backguard. 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 Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven 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 oven
burner flame or interior of the oven. Remove all
utensils from the rack before removing rack.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and insert allow dripping fat to drain and
be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aiuminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb (some models) with a
damp cioth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.
Disconnect the range or turn off the power to the
range 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. Pay particular attention
to the area underneath each surface burner. Exhaust
fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept
clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
* Kitchen cleaners/aerosois—Always follow the
manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be
aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and/or injury.
CONTINUOUS CLEANING OVENS (some models):
* Do not use oven cleaners on the oven liner or any
of the continuous cleaning surfaces. Continuous
cleaning surfaces can be identified by their rough
surface finish.
