IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
In case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or
other spirits on the appliance, follow manufacturer’s
instructions. Use caution when cooking foods with high
alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon). Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning
as the alcohol vapors may catch fire. Use only small
quantities of alcohol in foods.
DO NOT
store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
flammables, or nonfood products in or near this appliance.
It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking
food. The use of corrosive chemicals while heating or
cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in
injury.
WARNING
DO NOT
leave food or cooking utensils, etc, in oven
during the self-cleaning mode of operation. Before self-
cleaning the oven (select models), remove the broiler pan,
oven racks, and any other utensils, and excess spillage.
WARNING
This appliance should not be installed with a ventilation
system that directs air in a downward direction toward the
appliance. This type of ventilation system may cause
ignition and combustion problems with the appliance
resulting in personal injury, property damage, or
unintended operation. Ventilating systems that direct the
air upwards do not have any restriction.
An air curtain or other overhead range hood, which
operates by blowing a downward airflow onto a range,
shall not be used in conjunction with a gas range unless
the hood and range have been designed and tested in
accordance with the Standard for Domestic Gas Ranges,
ANSI Z21.1 • CSA 1.1, and listed by an independent
testing laboratory for combination use.
IMPORTANT:
There is a possibility to discolor the back
wall under certain cooking conditions.
DO NOT
clean, rub, damage, move or remove the door
gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking. If the
gasket becomes worn or excessively soiled with food
particles, replace gasket to assure a tight seal.
Protect the self-cleaning feature. Clean only those parts
indicated in this booklet.
DO NOT
use commercial oven
cleaners or oven liner protective coatings of any kind in or
around the self-cleaning oven.
Place oven racks in desired position while oven is cool. If a
rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the
potholders contact the broiler element.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN
– Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an
oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns - among these surfaces are oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors,
and windows of oven doors.
WARNING
NEVER
cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven
and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil
linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing foods.
Please note that some pets or humans can be sensitive to
the odors created during the self-cleaning process
whether it is a manufacturing residue burn off or food. It is
recommended that those potentially affected be removed
from the kitchen area during the self-clean process.
