IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
OVEN
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to
hands, face and/or eyes.
I Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure
could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.
I Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
I Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
I Place the oven shelf in the desired position while
the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when
hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating
elements.
I When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,
follow the manufacturer's directions.
SELF-CLEANING 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. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the
self-clean cycle is used.
I 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.
I Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan, grid and other cookware.
I Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting
the self-cleaning operation.

cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start
with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked
in the warming drawer.
I Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
I Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food
or combustible materials in the drawer.
I Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near
your drawer.

two hours.
