Safety Instructions

When using electrical appliances, basic
safety precautions should be followed,
including the following:
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, or
injury to persons:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Install or locate the appliance only in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
3. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - for example, closed glass jars - may
explode and should not be heated in this oven.
4. Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
5. Do not cover or block any openings on the
appliance.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. See door surface cleaning instructions in general
information section.
8. Do not operate this appliance if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
9. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven
door closed and turn oven off or shut off power at
the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
10. Do not drape towels or any materials on oven door
handles. These items could ignite and you could
get burned.
• Proper installation - Be sure the appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified
electrician.
• User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically recommended in the
Use and Care Manual. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
• Heating the room - Never use the appliance for

alone or unattended in an area where appliance is in
use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any on any part of the appliance.

• Odor may occur - During the first few times the self-
cleaning feature is used, there may be some odor
and smoking from the "curing" of the binder in the
high-density insulation used in the range. When the
insulation is thoroughly cured, this odor will
disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning cycles
you may sense an odor characteristic of high
temperatures with electric heat. Keep the kitchen
well ventilated during the self-cleaning cycle.
• Do not touch heating elements - Heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in color.
Never let clothing, potholders or other flammable
materials come into contact with the heating
elements.
• Wear proper apparel - Loose fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance.
• Use only dry potholders - Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• Storage in or on appliance - Flammable material
should not be stored in an oven or near surface
units.
• Do not use water on grease fires - Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam type extinguisher.
Do not store items of interest in cabinets above or
aside of the range. This will protect your family
from accidents while the range is hot.
