Important safety information
Self-cleaning oven safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe the
following precautions.
•
The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at
temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in
the oven. The range is extremely hot during a self-
cleaning cycle.
Do not touch
any surfaces of the range
during a self-cleaning cycle.
•
Keep children away from the oven during a self-
cleaning cycle.
•
Accessible parts may become hot during use.
•
Before starting a self-cleaning cycle,
remove
all racks, cookware, and utensils from the
oven. Only porcelain-coated oven racks may be left in the oven.
•
Before starting a self-cleaning cycle, wipe grease and food soils from the oven.
• Do not
put the lower drawer into the oven cavity when you run a self-cleaning cycle.
•
When opening the door after a self-cleaning cycle, stand away from the oven.
•
If the self-cleaning cycle malfunctions, turn off the oven, disconnect the power supply,
and contact a qualified service technician.
• Never keep
pet birds in the kitchen. Birds are 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.
• Do not use
any commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind in or
on the outside of the oven.
• Remove
the nickel oven shelves from the oven before you begin the self cleaning cycle
or they may discolor.
•
Excess spillage must be removed before you run the self cleaning cycle.
• Do not use
harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass.
They can scratch the surface which may result in the glass shattering.
•
For your safety, do not use high-pressure water cleaners or steam jet cleaners.
Ventilation hood safety
•
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Do not let grease accumulate on the hood or filter.
•
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
