over other surface units. This will
help reduce the chance of burns,
igniting of flammable materials,
and spills due to bumping of
the pan.

grease to collect around cooktop
or in vents. Wipe spillovers
immediately.
•Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on range

cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming
grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda
or, if available, a multipurpose
dry chemical, or foam-type
extinguisher.
•Do not soak removable heating
elements in water. The element
will be damaged and shock or
fire could result.

door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.
•Small amounts of formaldehyde
and carbon monoxide are given
off in the Self-Cleaning cycle from
fiberglass insulation and food
decomposition. Significant expo-
sure to these substances could
cause cancer or reproductive
harm. Exposure can be minimized
by venting with a hood or open
window and wiping out excess
food spills prior to self-cleaning.

commercial oven cleaner or
oven liner protective coating
of any kind should be used in
or around any part of the oven.

remove broiler pan, broiler grid,
oven racks, and other cookware.
Do not use your oven to clean
miscellaneous parts unless you
are instructed to do so in this
Use and Care Guide.
