IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR OVEN

•Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

•Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

•Keep oven vent ducts clear. Touching surfaces in this area when the oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or ignite.

•Always handle oven racks when the oven is cool. Place oven racks in desired positions while the oven is cool. if a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposi- tion. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven. Remove all bakeware and utensils before moving the rack.

•Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.

•Do not use aluminum foil or other protec- tive liners to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

•Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always use proper bakeware and use the oven racks

Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Cleaning a hot oven can cause burns.

Clean the oven regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use of kitchen cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.

Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning hoods.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

•Use the self-clean cycle to clean only the parts listed in this manual. Before using self-clean, remove the broiler pan, any food, utensils, and bakeware from the oven. Remove oven racks unless otherwise instructed.

•Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner, oven liner, or protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

•Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Do not rub, damage, or move the gasket.

•Some birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
