IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Save these instructions for future use.
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 commercial 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 broiler 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.
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

of substances known to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harms, and
requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposures to such substances.
Important: This appliance has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 18 of the FCC rules
(United States) and ICES-001 (Canada). These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This unit uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this unit
does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-
sion reception, which can be determined by
turning the unit off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antennae.
• Increase distance between unit and receiver.
• Connect the unit into an outlet or a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
