Heating Elements and Glass Ceramic
Cooking Surfaces
• Surface areas on or adjacent to the unit
may be hot enough to cause burns.
• NEVER touch oven heating elements,
areas near elements, or interior surfaces
of oven.
• Heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near
elements and interior surfaces of an
oven may become hot enough to cause
burns.
• During and after use, DO NOT touch or
let clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements, areas near
elements, or interior surfaces of oven
until they have had sufficient time to
cool.
• DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN
COOKING SURFACE. If cooking surface
should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooking surface and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
Cleaning Safety
• Turn off all controls and wait for
appliance parts to cool before touching
or cleaning them. DO NOT touch the
surface elements or surrounding areas
until they have had sufficient time to
cool.
• Clean appliance with caution. Use care
to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Self-Clean Oven
• Clean only parts listed in this guide. 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. DO NOT use oven cleaners of
any kind in or around any part of the
self-clean oven.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
broiler pan, racks, and other utensils
and wipe up excessive spillovers to
prevent excessive smoke or flaming.
• This range features a cooling fan, which
operates automatically during a clean
cycle. If the fan does not turn on, cancel
the clean operation and contact an
authorized servicer.
• It is normal for the rangetop cooking
surface of the range to become hot
during a self-clean cycle. Therefore,
touching the rangetop cooking surface
during a clean cycle should be avoided.
Important Safety Notice and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition
65) requires the Governor of California
to publish a list of substances known to
the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposures
to such substances. Users of this appliance
are hereby warned that when the oven is
engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may
be some low-level exposure to some of
the listed substances, including carbon
monoxide. Exposure to
these substances can be minimized by
properly venting the oven to the outdoors by
opening the windows and/or door in the room
where the appliance is located during the
self-clean cycle.
