IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
[AWARNING l OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
[ WARNINGI
NEVER
cover any slots,
holes, or passages in the oven bottom or
cover an entire rack with materials such
as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
[] Use this appliance for its intended purpose as
described in this owner's manual.
[] Stand away from the range when opening the
oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
[] Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease
in the oven may ignite.
[] Place oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot,
be careful to avoid touching hot surfaces.
[] Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when
loading and unloading food from the oven. This
helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces
of the door and oven walls.
[] Do not leave items such as paper, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
[] Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven
vent which is in the center of the backguard.
Items may overheat resulting in a risk of fire or
burns.
[] When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
[] Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling
is not permitted due to overheating of control
knobs.
IAWARNING I SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the
oven. Follow these instructions for safe operation.
[] Do not touch oven surfaces during self-clean
operation. Keep children away from the oven
during self-cleaning. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause burns.
[] Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove
pans, shiny metal oven racks and other utensils
from the oven. Only porcelain-coated oven racks
may be left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to
clean other parts, such as grates.
[] Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe
grease and food soils from the oven. Excessive
amount of grease may ignite leading to smoke
damage to your home.
[] If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have
it serviced by a qualified technician.
[] 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.
