Stand away from the range when opening the oven
door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns
to hands, face and/or eyes.
 Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
 Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the
oven may ignite.
 Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool.
If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let pot
holder contact hot heating element in oven.
 When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow
the manufacturer’s directions.
 Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when
loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps
prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door
and oven walls.
 Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or
food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an
oven can ignite.
 Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.
Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the
product and a shock or fire hazard.
The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven.
Follow these instructions for safe operation.
 Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans, shiny
metal oven racks and other utensils from the oven. Only
gray or black porcelain-coated oven racks and drip pans
may be left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean
other parts, such as shiny drip pans or bowls.
 Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and
food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease
may ignite, leading to smoke damage to your home.
 If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off
and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a
qualified technician.
 Do not clean the 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 oven.
 Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Foil can
trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a
shock or fire hazard.
 The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow
in food while it is below 140°F. Do not put cold food
in warming drawer. Do not heat food for more than 2
hours. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
foodborne illness.
 Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or
combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite.
 Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface
of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to
cause burns.
 Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a
crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food. Hot air or steam that escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
 Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower drawer. The
foil will trap heat below, and upset the performance
of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage
the drawer bottom. Damage from improper use of
aluminum foil is not covered by the product warranty.
