Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the oven racks,
broiler pan, food and any other utensils. Wipe spillovers
to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups.

Important Safety Notice and

Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to the State
of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential expo-
sures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the
oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some
low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, includ-
ing carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors by
opening the windows and/or door in the room where the
appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never
keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes
from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive
respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-
cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes
released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and
overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

Save These Instructions for Future Reference

Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into the
room or over another surface element. This reduces the risk
of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage if pan is
accidently bumped or reached by small children.

Cooktop

NEVER leave surface units unattended especially when
using high heat. An unattended boilover could cause
smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different size surface
elements. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to
cover element. Fitting pan size to element will improve
cooking efficiency.
GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE: NEVER cook on broken
cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immedi-
ately.

Deep Fat Fryers

Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or
disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before at-
tempting to move pan.

Ventilating Hoods

Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent grease or
other flammable materials from accumulating on hood or
filter and to avoid grease fires.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Cleaning Safety

Clean cooktop with caution. Turn off all controls and wait
for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning.
Clean with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.

Self-Clean Oven

Do not clean 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 or oven liners of any kind in or
around any part of the self-clean oven.
It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot
during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the cooktop
during a clean cycle should be avoided.
