Operating Instructions

SELF-CLEANING UPPER 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.

Care and

■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 the convection roasting rack, broiler pan, grid and other cookware.

■Shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) should be removed from the oven before beginning the self-clean cycle.

■Be sure to wipe up 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.

Cleaning

LOWER OVEN DRAWER (on some models)

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

■Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven drawer pan in the upper oven.

■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 lower oven 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.
