Important
Instructions for Using Your Oven
Never use your appliance
for warming
or
heating
the room. Doing so may result in
CARBON
MONOXIDE
poisoning.
Use care when opening over door, lower
oven door, or warmer
drawer
(some
models).
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.
Keep oven vent ducts clear. Touching
surfaces
in this area when the oven is on
may cause severe burns. Do not place
plastic
or heat-sensitive
items on or near
the oven vent. These items can melt or
ignite.
Always
handle
oven racks when the oven
is cool. Place oven racks in desired
positions
while the oven is cool. if a rack
must be moved while the oven is hot, use
extreme
caution.
Use potholders
and
grasp the rack with both hands to reposi-
tion. Do not let potholders
contact
the hot
heating
elements
in the oven. Remove all
cookware
and utensils before
moving
the
rack.
Do not use a broiler
pan without
its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow
dripping
fat
to drain 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 use aluminum
foil or other protec-
tive liners to line the oven bottom.
Only
use aluminum
foil as recommended
in this
manual.
Improper
installation
of these
liners may result in risk of electric
shock or
fire.
°
Do not cook food on the oven bottom.
Always
cook in proper
cookware
and
always
use the over racks.
Important
Instructions for Cleaning
Your
Range
Before manually
cleaning
any
part ot the range,
be sure all controls
are
turned
OFF and the range is cool. Cleaning
a
hot range can cause burns
Clean the range regularly
to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Pay
particular
attention
to the area around
each burner element.
Do not allow grease
to accumulate.
On models with stainless steel cooktops,
clean with warm
soapy water
using a
clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean
water
and dry with a soft clean cloth. Do
not use any store bought cleaners
like
stainless steel cleaners
or any other types
of cleaners
containing
any abrasive,
chlo-
rides, chlorine,
or ammonia.
It is recom-
mended
to use mild dish soap and water
or a 50/50
solution
of water
and vinegar.
Always
follow
the manufacturer's
recom-
mended
directions
for use of kitchen
cleaners
and aerosols.
Be aware
that
excess residue from cleaners
and aerosols
may ignite causing
damage
and iniury.
Clean ventilating
hoods frequently.
Grease
should
not be allowed
to accumulate
on
the hood or filter. Follow the manufac-
turer's instructions
for cleaning
hoods.
Self-Cleaning
Ovens
Use the self-clean
cycle to clean only the
parts listed in this manual.
Before using
self-clean,
remove the broiler
pan, any
food,
utensils, and cookware
from the
oven. Remove oven racks unless otherwise
instructed.
Do not use oven cleaners.
No commercial
oven cleaner, oven liner, or protective
coating
of any kind should
be used in or
around
any part of the oven.
Do not clean the oven door gasket.
The
door gasket
is essential
for a good
seal.
Do not rub, damage,
or move the gasket.
Some birds are extremely
sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-clean
cycle
of any range. Move
birds to another
well-
