Frigidaire B manual For Cooktops with Coil Elements only, For Self-CLEANING Oven

Important Safety Instructions

FOR COOKTOPS WITH COIL ELEMENTS ONLY

•Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Surface HeatingElements. Surface heating elements should never be immerse in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

•Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place. Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

FOR GLASS COOKTOP ONLY

•Do Not Clean or Operate a 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 immediately.

•Clean Cooktop Glass with Caution— If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

•Avoid Scratching the Cooktop Glass with Sharp Objects.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

•Use Care When Opening Oven Door—Stand to the side of the appliance when opening the door/drawer of a hot appliance. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven/drawer.

•Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented at the front above the oven door. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat- sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

WARNING

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 air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

•Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while appliance is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use pot holders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let pot holders contact the hot oven element or interior of the oven.

•Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

•Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

•Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing the bulb.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR OVEN

•Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

•Cleaners/Aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury.

FOR Self-CLEANING OVEN

•Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the appliance listed in this Owner’s Guide. Before using the self-cleaning cycle of the appliance, remove all utensils stored in the appliance.

•Do not clean the oven 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 oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the appliance.

•Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

CAUTION

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any wall oven. Move birds to another well ventilated room.
