COOK 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!

OVEN

Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

Safety Instructions Operating

■Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

■Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■Place the oven rack in the desired position while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.

■When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■Pulling out the rack 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.

■Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

■Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

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.

■Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

■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.

Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting

SELF-CLEANING 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.

Tips

■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 racks, broiler pan, grid and other cookware.

■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.
