IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
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 gray porcelain-coated oven racks may
be left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean
other parts, such as drip pans or bowls.
■ 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.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film
with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance
surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film.
Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the
first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from
packaging tape on new appliances is an application of
a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a
soft cloth and allow to soak.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR APPLIANCE
Dispose of or recycle your appliance in accordance with Federal and Local Regulations. Contact your local
authorities for the environmentally safe disposal or recycling of your appliance.

■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it
serviced by a qualified technician.
■ Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not
to rub, damage or move the gasket.
■ Do not use a protective coating to line the oven and
do not use commercial oven cleaner unless certified
for use in a self-cleaning oven.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It
cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Consider recycling options for your appliance packaging
material.
