WARNING
This features a self-cleaning cycle. During this
cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures
in order to burn off soil and deposits. A
powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the
oven after completion of the self-clean cycle.
NOTE: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners
inside the oven. Use of these cleaners can
produce hazardous fumes or can damage the
porcelain finishes. DO NOT line the oven with
aluminum foil or other materials. These items
can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle,
causing permanent damage to the oven.
CAUTION
DO NOT turn the temperature control on
during defrosting. Turning the convection fan
on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the
food without the heat.
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD
The oven door, especially the glass, can get hot.
Danger of burning: DO NOT touch the glass!

CAUTION
DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the
oven after self-cleaning cycle has begun, since
some parts become extremely hot to the touch!
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 oven. When
the insulation is thoroughly cured, this odor
will disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning
cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of
high temperatures.
KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING
THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.
CAUTION
The oven is heavy—use extreme care when
handling.
