Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum
foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other
materials or devices to line oven bot-
tom, oven racks, or any other part of the
appliance. Only use aluminum as recom-
mended for baking, such as lining coo-
kware or as a cover placed on food. Any
other use of protective liners or aluminum
foil may result in a risk of electric shock or
reorashortcircuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some mo-
dels). Stand to the side of the appliance
when opening the door of a hot oven.
Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Tou-
ching surfaces in this area when the oven
is on may cause severe burns. Do not
place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or
near the oven vent. These items can melt
or ignite.
Placement of oven racks - Always place
oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven
is hot, do not let potholder contact hot
burner or element in oven. Use pothol-
ders and grasp the rack with both hands
to reposition. Remove all cookware and
utensils before moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat
to drain away from the high heat of the
broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with
aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease
could ignite.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom.
Always cook in proper cookware and
always use the oven racks.

Before manually cleaning any part of the
appliance, be sure all controls are turned
off and the appliance is cool. Cleaning a
hot appliance can cause burns.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF
CLEANING OVENS
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The
door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Care should be taken not to rub, damage,
or move the gasket.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commer-
cial oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the appliance.
Use the self clean cycle to clean only the
parts listed in this manual.
Before using self clean, remove the broi-
ler pan, any food, utensils, and cookware
from the oven, storage drawer or warming
drawer (if equipped). Remove oven racks
unless otherwise instructed.
Some birds are extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self clean cycle
of any oven. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
