Warnings
• 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
• 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.
Power Failure
If power failure occurs, the electric igniters will not work. No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure. Make sure the
oven control is in the "OFF" position.
Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected only when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will
function properly without any adjustments. A "brown-out" may or may not affect range operation, depending on how severe the power loss is.
WARNING
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. Also, DO NOT use the rangetop or oven as a storage
area for food or cooking utensils.
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.
