IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Door or Warmer Oven/
Drawer
—Stand to the side of the appliance when
opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam
escape before you remove or replace food in the
oven or warmer oven/drawer
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
The
oven is vented at the front above the oven door
or through the rear of cooktop. Touching the
surfaces in this area when the oven is operating
may cause severe burns. Also, do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the
oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of Oven and Warmer Oven/Drawer
(if equipped) Racks.
Always place oven racks
in desired location while oven and warmer oven/
drawer (if equipped) is cool. Remove all utensils
from the rack before removing rack. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme
caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders
contact the hot oven element or interior of the
oven and warmer oven/drawer (if equipped).
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to
drain and be kept away from the high heat of the
broiler.
•
Do not cover your broiler or warmer oven (if
equipped) grid with aluminum foil.
Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp
cloth.
Doing so could cause the bulb to break.
Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power
to the appliance before removing and replacing
light bulb.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom.
Always cook in proper bakeware and always
use the oven racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CLEANING YOUR
RANGE

free of grease that could catch fire.
Exhaust
fan ventilation hoods and grease filters
should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to
accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could
catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning.

—Always follow the
manufacturer’s recommended directions for use.
Be aware that excess residue from cleaners
and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or
