IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
OVEN
• 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.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure
could build up and the container could burst, caus-
ing an injury. Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position while
the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when
hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating ele-
ments.
• Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a conve-
nience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution
against burns from touching hot surfaces of the
door or oven walls.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,
follow the manufacturer's directions.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN (on some models)
• 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.
• Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.
• Do not use oven cleaners on self-clean models. No
commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or around
any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners
will damage the inside of the oven when the self-
clean cycle is used.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan, grid and other cookware.
50
• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If over-
heated, they can catch on fire.
• Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items
stored in an oven can ignite.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or
food in the oven when not in use.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting
the self-cleaning operation.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it
serviced by a qualified technician.
• Take the shelves out of the oven before you begin
the self-clean cycle or they may discolor.
