/ Warnings
Oven Heating Elements
• NEVER touch oven bake and broil elements
areas or interior surfaces of oven.
• Bake and broil elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near
elements and interior surfaces of an oven may
become hot enough to cause burns.
• During and after use, DO NOT touch or let
clothing or other fl ammable materials contact
heating elements, areas near elements, or
interior surfaces of oven until they have had
suffi cient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
oven may become hot enough to cause burns,
such as the oven vent opening, the surface
near the vent opening, and the oven door
window.
Cleaning Safety
• Turn off all controls and wait for appliance
parts to cool before touching or cleaning them.
• Clean the oven with caution. Avoid steam
burns; DO NOT use a wet sponge or cloth to
clean the range while it is hot. Some cleaners
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface. Follow directions provided by the
cleaner manufacturer.
• 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.
Power failure warning
Due to safety considerations and the possibility of
personal injury in attempting to light and extingui-
sh the oven burners, the grill and the oven should
not be used during a power failure. The oven con-
trol knob should always remain in the “OFF” posi-
tion during a power failure.
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat
or warm a room to prevent potential hazard to the
user and damage to the appliance. Also, DO
NOT use the oven as a storage area for food or
cooking utensils.

dispersal slots
Electrical shock hazard
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL
before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in
burns or electrical shock.

cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb
break, disconnect power to the appliance before
removing bulb to avoid electrical shock.
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 fl ow
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxi-
de poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fi re hazard.

DO NOT touch the oven door glass or the oven
door panels.
