SELF-CLEANING OVENS

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.

Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. The health of birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes released during an oven self-clean cycle. Fumes may be harmful or fatal to birds. Move birds to a well-ventilated room.

Clean in the self-clean cycle only parts listed in this manual. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broil pan , rack, utensils, and food.

No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or on the outside of the oven. Use only a ceramic cooktop cleaner or the cleaner supplied with this appliance on the glass cooktop.

Nickel oven shelves should be removed from the oven before beginning the self-cleaning cycle, or they may discolor.

If the self-clean mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING SURFACES

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS. Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cook-top and facing the cook-top.

Do not cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

before you begin

Clean the oven thoroughly before using for the first time. Remove accessories and operate the oven at the bake setting at 400°F for 1 hour before using. There will be a distinctive odor; this is normal, but ensure your kitchen is well ventilated during this conditioning period.
