Troubleshooting Tips
Stand away from the oven when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can
cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

■ Always remove any broiler pan from oven as
soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the
pan can catch fire if oven is used without
removing the grease from a broiler pan.
■ When broiling, if meat is too close to the
flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat
to prevent excessive flare-ups.
■ Make sure a broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
■ If you should have a grease fire in a broiler
pan, turn the oven off, and keep the oven
door closed to contain fire until it burns out.
■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or
near your oven.

WARNING: NEVER cover
any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny,
silver-colored oven racks (on some models)
and all other cookware.
■ 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.
■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power
supply. Have it serviced by a qualified
technician.
■ Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner 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.
