SELF-CLEANING Oven

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

•Never open door broil. Open door broiling is not permitted due to excessive control knob temperatures.

•Children in walkers, or children crawling, can be attracted to the round oven door handle and may grab and open the oven door. This can result in injury from the door being pulled open on a child, or severe burns if the oven is in use and hot.

•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 rack in the desired position while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.

•Slide the oven rack out to the stop position. This will provide additional clearance to hot oven walls and make it easier to lift out heavy or large dishes.

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

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

•Do not use 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 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. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

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

•Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and other cookware.

•Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting the self-cleaning operation.
