IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, property
damage or injury to persons when using this appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
• DO NOT heat unopened food containers. Pressure in
the containers may cause them to burst which may
result in injury.
• DO NOT force the door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use care when opening
the oven door after the self cleaning cycle. Stand to
the side of the oven when opening the door to allow
hot air or steam to escape. The oven may still be VERY
HOT.
• DO NOT use harsh etching, abrasive cleaners or
sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass
because they can scratch the surface. Scratches may
cause the glass to shatter.
• Be careful when removing and lifting the door.
• DO NOT lift the door by the handle. The door is very
heavy.
• DO NOT use utensils for removing refuse (ash, food,
etc.).
• Refer to the installation manual for proper anti-tip
bracket installation.
• Never remove the oven legs. The range will not be
secured to the anti-tip bracket if the legs are removed.
• DO NOT step or sit on the oven door. Install the anti-
tip bracket packed with the range.
− The range could be tipped and injury might result
from spilled hot liquid, food, or the range itself.
− If the range is pulled away from the wall for
cleaning, service, or any other reason, ensure that
• DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any
other part of the oven with aluminum foil or any
other material. Doing so will disrupt 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.)
FLAMMABLE MATERIALS SAFETY
• Be certain that all packing materials are removed
from the appliance before operating. Keep plastic,
clothes, paper, and other flammable materials away
from parts of the appliance that may become hot.
• Do not store or use flammable materials in the oven
or near or on the cooktop. Flammable materials
include paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall
coverings, curtains, and gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids such as grease or cooking oil. These
materials can be ignited when the oven and cooktop
are in use.
WARNING
the anti-tip bracket is properly re-engaged when the
range is pushed back against the wall.
− Do not rest large, heavy items such as whole turkeys
on the open oven door. The range could tip forward
and cause injury.
• NEVER use the appliance for warming or heating the
room.
• DO NOT use water on grease fires. Should an oven
fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn the
oven off. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the
fire or use a fire extinguisher.
• Only use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
the potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth to remove food.
• If the door glass, cooktop glass, surface, or oven
heating unit of the range is damaged, discontinue use
of the range and call for service.
• Do not operate the oven without the charcoal heater
mesh.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the
door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage
the range or tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
• Do not open the oven door during the Lo Temp Clean
cycle. During the Lo Temp Clean cycle, the oven
becomes hot enough to cause burns. Wait until the
cycle is over before wiping the inside surfaces of the
oven. Failure to do so may result in burns.
• This product contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
CAUTION
• Never attempt to dry a pet in the oven.
• Wear gloves when cleaning the range to avoid injury
or burns.
WARNING
• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose-fitting or
hanging garments which may ignite if they contact hot
surfaces and cause severe burns.
• Do not leave metal objects such as unopened cans on
the surface units or heat them in the oven. Pressure in
the containers may cause them to burst when heated,
resulting in injury.
• Do not use the oven for drying clothes. Only use the
oven for its intended purpose.
