Oven Safety - Kenmore ELITE 911.49032 Use & Care Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• PLACE OVEN RACKS in the
desired position while the oven is
cool. If racks must be moved while
oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact the hot oven element.
• AFTER BROILING, always take the
broiler pan and grid out of the oven
and clean them. Leftover grease in
the broiler pan could catch fire the
next time you use your oven.
• ALWAYS USE care when opening
the oven door. Let hot air and steam
escape before moving foods.
• NEVER USE aluminum foil to line
the oven bottom. Improper use of
foil could start a fire, or electrical
shock could result.
• NEVER BLOCK the oven vent
opening.
• CLEAN ONLY the parts listed
in this manual. Follow all cleaning
instructions. Be sure to remove
broiler pan and grid before the
self-clean cycle.
• NEVER RUB, move, clean or
damage the door gasket on
self-cleaning ovens. It is essential
for a good seal.
• NEVER TRY to clean utensils,
cookware, removable parts or
broiler pan and grid in the self-clean
cycle.
• DO NOT USE oven cleaners-
No commercial oven cleaner or
protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any
part of the oven.
• IF THE SELF-CLEANING mode
malfunctions, turn the oven off and
disconnect the power supply. Have
it serviced by a qualified technician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!
The California Safe Drinking Water
and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the governor of California
to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause birth
defects or other reproductive harm
and requires businesses to warn
their customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in a
self-cleaning oven will give off a
very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning
cycle. Exposure can be minimized
by venting with an open door or
window or using a ventilation fan
or hood.
IMPORTANT: The health of
some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the
self-cleaning cycle of any
oven. Move birds to another
well-ventilated room.
READ AND UNDERSTAND
THIS INFORMATION NOW!
Be sure everyone in your home
knows what to do in case of fire.
Never use water on a grease fire;
it will only spread the flames.
OVEN FIRE:
Do not try to move the pan!
1. Close the oven door and turn
controls off.
2. If fire continues, carefully open the
door, throw baking soda on the
fire, or use a dry chemical, foam
or halon-type extinguisher.
