Safety and warnings

Placement of oven racks (shelves): always position racks (shelves) in the desired location while the oven is cool (before preheating). If a rack (shelf) must be removed while the oven is hot, do not let the oven mitts or potholder contact hot heating elements in the oven or the base of the oven.

Do not clean the door seal or cavity seals (gaskets) or use any oven-cleaning products on them. They are essential for a good seal, which ensures that the oven operates efficiently. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move them.

Do not use oven cleaners, harsh/abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, or polishes. No commercial oven cleaner, oven liner, or protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaners, scourers or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they scratch the surface, which may result in the glass shattering.

Clean only the parts listed in this manual.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the oven.

Before starting a self-clean cycle, remove oven shelves/racks, side racks/shelf supports, broiler pan and all other cookware/utensils, and wipe up large food spills or grease deposits.

During a self-clean cycle, the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for cooking. Under such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than usual and children should be kept away.

Do not store things children might want above the oven. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the oven to retrieve items.

Do not install or operate the appliance if it is damaged or not working properly. If you receive a damaged product, contact your dealer or installer immediately.

Use only bakeware approved for oven use. Follow the bakeware manufacturer’s instructions. Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. Small amounts of harmful chemicals are given off in the oven’s self-cleaning cycle from insulation and food decomposition. Significant exposure to these substances can cause cancer and reproductive harm. Venting with a hood or open window, and wiping out excess food spills prior to self-cleaning the oven reduces exposure.
