Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholders touch hot cooking areas. Do not use
towels or other bulky cloths.
Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of the
range. Children climbing on the range to reach items
could be seriously injured.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Grease
may catch fire if it becomes too hot.
IMPORTANT! Important Safety Notice - The Cali-
fornia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the governor of California to publish a
list of substances known to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harms, and it requires
businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances.
Read and follow the below instructions and precau-
tions for unpacking, installing, and servicing your
appliance:
• Remove all tape and packaging before using the
oven. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after
unpacking the oven. Never allow children to play
with packaging material.
• Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician in accordance with the National Elec-
trical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest edition and
local electrical code requirements. In Canada,
install in accordance with CSA Standard C22.1,
Canadian Electrical code, Part 1, and local elec-
trical code requirements. Install only per installa-
tion instructions provided in the literature package
for this oven.
• User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part
of the appliance unless specifically recom-
mended in the manuals. All other servicing
should be done only by a qualified technician.
This reduces the risk of personal injury and
damage to the oven.
• Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified techni-
cian and an authorized repair service. Know how
to disconnect the power to the oven at the circuit
breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.
• Never modify or alter the construction of an oven
by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire
covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part
of the oven.
Important Safety Instructions
Save these instructions for future reference.
• Remove the oven door from any unused oven if it
is to be stored or discarded.
• Be sure to have an appropriate foam-type fire
extinguisher available, visible, and easily located
near the appliance.
• Do not attempt to operate the oven during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off
the oven. If the oven is not turned off and the
power resumes, the oven will begin to operate
again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock
and oven function.
• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic
control. When using this appliance for the first
time, or when the appliance has not been used
for an extended period of time, be sure the
appliance has been in temperatures above 32ºF
(0ºC) for at least 3 hours before turning on the
power to the appliance.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the oven 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 unobstructed. 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.
• Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If
rack must be moved while oven in hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both
hands to reposition. Remove all bakeware 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.
• Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to
line oven bottoms, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always
cook in proper bakeware and always use the
oven racks.
