General Information
Cleaning Safety
• Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool
before touching or cleaning them. DO NOT touch the
burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
• Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam
burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Self-Clean Oven
• Clean only parts listed in this guide. DO NOT clean
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 oven cleaners of any
kind in or around any part of the self-clean oven.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan,
racks, and other utensils and wipe up excessive
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke or flaming.
• This range features a cooling fan, which operates
automatically during a clean cycle. If the fan does not
turn on, cancel the clean operation and contact an
authorized servicer.
• It is normal for the rangetop cooking surface of
the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle.
Therefore, touching the rangetop cooking surface
during a clean cycle should be avoided.
Important Safety Notice and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when
the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may
be some low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to
these substances can be minimized by properly venting
the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or
door in the room where the appliance is located during
the self-clean cycle.
Important Notice Regarding Pet Birds:
NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where
the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have
a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released
during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or
fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking
oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware
may be equally harmful.

About Your Appliance
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat
or warm a room to prevent potential hazard to the
user and damage to the appliance. DO NOT use
the rangetop or oven as a storage area for food or
cooking utensils.
• For proper oven performance and operation, DO NOT
block or obstruct the oven vent duct located on the
right side of the air grille.
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and
for several minutes after oven is turned off. When the
oven is in use, the vent and surrounding area become
hot enough to cause burns. After oven is turned off,
DO NOT touch the oven vent or surrounding areas
until they have had sufficient time to cool.
• Other potentially hot surfaces include rangetop, areas
facing the rangetop, oven vent, surfaces near the vent
opening, oven door, areas around the oven door and
oven window.
• The misuse of oven doors (e.g., stepping, sitting, or
leaning on them) can result in potential hazards and/or
injuries.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. DO NOT touch
a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb
could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect
power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect the
electric power at the main fuse or circuit breaker
before replacing bulb.
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Make
sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before
cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or
electrical shock.
