IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING
The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven.
Follow these instructions for safe operation.
■
Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans,
shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the
oven. Only gray or black porcelain-coated oven racks
and drip pans may be left in the oven. Do not use self-
clean to clean other parts, such as shiny drip pans or
bowls.
■ Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and
food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease
may ignite leading to smoke damage to your home.
WARNING
■ The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow
in food while it is below 140°F. Do not put cold food in
warming drawer. Do not heat food for more than
2 hours. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
foodborne illness.
■ Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or
combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite.
■ Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface
of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to
cause burns.

WARMING DRAWER/LOWER OVEN DRAWER SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
■
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off
and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a
qualified technician.
■
Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
■ 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.
(Some models)
■ Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a
crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food. Hot air or steam that escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower drawer. The
foil will trap heat below, and upset the performance of
the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the
drawer bottoms.
