Safety Instructions

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.

Operating Instructions

■Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

■Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■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.

■When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a

precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

■Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

■Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

■Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

WARMING DRAWER (on some models)

■The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the warming drawer.

■Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food, or combustible materials in the drawer.

■Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your drawer.

■Do not warm food in the drawer for more than two hours.

■Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.

REMEMBER: The inside surface of the drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.

■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 which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■Do not use aluminum foil to line the warming drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.

Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning

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.

Consumer Support

■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.

■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) and all other cookware.

■Gray porcelain-coated oven shelves (on some models) may be cleaned in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

■Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before starting the self-cleaning operation.

■If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.
