NOTES:
•
To prevent damage to oven door, do not attempt to open
it when the LOCK indicator word is displayed.
•
During cleaning, the kitchen should be well ventilated to
help eliminate normal odors associated with cleaning.
Odors will lessen with use.
•
It is normal for flare-ups, smoking or flaming to occur
during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. Clean the
oven regularly rather than wait until there is a heavy
buildup of soil.
