10 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BROILER

Always use a broiler pan and a grid for excess fat and grease drainage. This will help to
reduce splatter, smoke, and flare-ups.
WARNING
When using the broiler, the temperature inside the oven will be extremely high. Take
caution to avoid possible burns by:
• Keeping the door closed when broiling (refer to Broil section of the manual)
• Always wearing oven mitts when inserting or removing food items

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY

To protect against food-borne illnesses, cook meat and poultry thoroughly—ground beef to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 160 °F, poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 165
°F and beef, pork, veal & lamb steaks & chops to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 145 °F.

SELF CLEANING OVEN

Make sure to wipe off excess spillage before operating the self clean function.
CAUTION
• Do not leave food, cooking utensils, racks, etc. in the oven during the self clean cycle.
• 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. Residue from oven
cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self clean cycle is used.
• Remove oven racks and other items from the oven before starting the self clean cycle.
• Only clean the parts listed in this manual.
• Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is necessary for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• If the self cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the range off and disconnect the power
supply. Have the range serviced by a qualified technician.
• It is normal for parts of the oven to become hot during a self clean cycle.
• Avoid touching the door, window or oven vent area during a clean cycle.

OVEN

When opening the door of a hot oven, stand away from the range. The hot air and steam
that escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
WARNING
• Never block 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 trap heat, causing a
fire hazard.
• Do not heat food in closed containers. Pressure inside the container could increase and
cause the container to burst, resulting in injury.
