IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 potholders 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.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR APPLIANCE
Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Do not allow
grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan
could catch fire.
Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended
directions for use of kitchen cleaners and
aerosols. Be aware that excess residue from
cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing
damage and injury.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently - Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or
filter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
cleaning vent hoods.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE
AND MAINTENANCE
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
unless specifically recommended in the manuals.
All other servicing should be done only by a
qualified technician. This reduces the risk of
personal injury and damage to the appliance.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service
agent, or manufacturer about problems or condi-
tions you do not understand.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified techni-
cian and an authorized repair service. Know how
to disconnect the power to the appliance at the
circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emer-
gency.
Remove the oven door from any unused oven if it
is to be stored or discarded.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp
cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.
Handle halogen lights (if equipped) with paper
towels or soft gloves. Disconnect the appliance or
shut off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing the bulb.
Important Safety Notice - The California Safe
Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the governor of California to publish a list
of substances known to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harms, and
requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposures to such substances.
Before manually cleaning any part of the appli-
ance, be sure all controls are turned off and the
appliance is cool. Cleaning a hot appliance can
cause burns.
