are dark in color. The oven vent duct and oven door may
also become hot during oven use.

broiling,
always take the broiler pan out of the
oven and clean It. Leftover grease in the broiler pan can
catch on fire next time you use the pan°

the oven. Moist or damp potholders can cause steam
burns.

IMPORTANT
SAFETY
NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment 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 busi-
nesses to warn customers
of potential exposure to
such substances.
Never
block free airflow through the oven vent.
Never
try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until the fat has cooled.
Place oven racks in desired position while oven is cool.
If racks must be handled when hot, do not let potholder
contact hot heating element in oven.
Choose
pots and pans with flat bottoms, large enough
to cover the entire cooktop element. This will cut down
the risk of setting potholders
or clothing on fire with an
uncovered element and waste less energy.
Only some kinds of glass or ceramic pans can be used
for cooktop cooking.
Be sure that the pan you use will
not break when heated on the cooktop elements.
Never
try to clean utensils, cookware or removable
parts of your range in the oven during a self.clean
cycle.
Never
rub, move, or damage the door gasket on self-
cleaning oven. The gasket is essential for a good seal.
Only clean the gasket by soaking it with hydrogen
peroxide,
as described in the self-clean section of this
manual.
