IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door or warm & serve
drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the side of the range when
opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape
before you remove or replace food in the oven/ warm &
serve drawer.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is
located at the center rear of the cooktop. Touching the
surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause
severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive
items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or
ignite.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages
in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum
foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
• Placement of oven/warm & serve drawer (if equipped)
racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while
oven/warm & serve drawer (if equipped) is cool. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition.
Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in
the oven/warm & serve drawer (if equipped). Remove all
utensils from the rack before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler
pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept
away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing
so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance
or turn off the power to the appliance before removing and
replacing light bulb.
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 cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and
grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to
accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan
could catch fire. When you are flaming food under the hood,
turn the fan on. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions
for cleaning.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware
that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
• In the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed in
this Use and Care Guide. Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the
oven.
• Do not use oven cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner
or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used
in or around any part of the oven.
• 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.
• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in
the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of the range. Move the birds to another well ventilated
room.
