■
Stand away from the range when opening
the oven door. 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 unobstructed.
■
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■
Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
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 the 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 range and clean it. Leftover
grease in the broiler pan can catch on
fire the next time you use the pan.
■
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms, except as suggested in this
manual. Improper installation of
aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.

■
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.
■
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
■
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.
