GE Monogram ZET737 manual Save These Instructions, Self-Cleaning Oven

•Never leave the oven door open when you are not watching the oven.

•Do not store flammable materials in an oven.

•For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

•Do not touch the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact, any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door, the edges of the door window and metal trim parts above the door.

Remember: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.

•When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

Oven

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

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

•Keep the oven vent ducts unobstructed.

•Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

•Place the oven shelf in the desired position while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holders contact the heating elements.

•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.

•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 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.

•After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of the oven and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler pan can catch on fire next time you use the pan.

•Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your oven.

•Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom, except as suggested in this guide. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

•Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Guide.

Self-Cleaning Oven

•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 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.

•Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the 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.
