by closing the oven door and turning the oven
OFF or use a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.

● 

Do not touch the surface units, the heating

elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even
though they are dark in color. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact the surface units, the
areas nearby the surface units or any interior area
of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas
facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces
near the opening, crevices around the oven door,
the edges of the door window and metal trim parts
above the door.

Remember:  The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.

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 duct unobstructed.

● 

Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

● 

Place the oven shelf in the desired position

while the oven is cool.  If the shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let a pot holder contact
the heating elements in the oven.

● 

Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.

● 

After broiling, always take the broiler pan out

or food in the oven when not in use. Do not

Self-Cleaning Oven

● 

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 Use and

Care Guide.

● 

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.
