Electric Range Use & Care Manual ES340

During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the outside of

the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave

small children unattended near the appliance.

The health of some birds is extremely

sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning

cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated

room.

DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom

or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so

will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results

and cause permanent damage to the oven interior

(aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills

remaining on the oven bottom should be removed.

The Bake element is located in the lower oven cavity (See

illustration at left).The bake element is designed to be tilted

up using your hand from the front of the bake element. This

will allow easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning.

Remove the Bottom Rack before raising the element. Be

careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from

the resting position.

The oven

bake and broil elements

may appear to have

cooled after they have

been turned OFF. The

elements may still be

hot and burns may

occur if these elements

are touched before they

have cooled sufficiently.
