■Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware, probe
and any aluminum foil.
■Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven
drawer pan in the upper oven.
■Nickel oven shelves (on some models)
should be removed from the oven before
beginning the self-clean cycle.
■Gray porcelain-coated oven shelves (on some
models) may be cleaned in the oven during
the self-clean cycle.
■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.
■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.
■If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
■Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner 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.
■Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
■Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■Place the oven shelves in the desired
position while the oven is cool.
■Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The
lowest position is not designed to slide.
■Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the
oven except as described in this manual.
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or
damage to the range.
■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 fire.
■Use only glass cookware that is
recommended for use in gas ovens.
■Always remove the broiler pan from range as
soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the
pan can catch fire if oven is used without
removing the grease from the broiler pan.
■When broiling, if meat is too close to the
flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to
prevent excessive flare-ups.
■Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
■If you should have a grease fire in the broiler
pan, press the CLEAR/OFF pad, and keep the
oven door closed to contain fire until it
burns out.
■For safety and proper cooking performance,
always bake and broil with the oven door
closed.
■Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven
drawer pan in the upper oven.
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can
cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
UPPER OVENCOOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to
at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
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 also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
