IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
• Never open door broil. Open door broiling
is not permitted due to excessive control
knob temperatures.
• Children in walkers, or children crawling,
can be attracted to the round oven door
handle and may grab and open the oven
door. This can result in injury from the door
being pulled open on a child, or severe
burns if the oven is in use and hot.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
• Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Place the oven rack in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If racks must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
• Slide the oven rack out to the stop position.
This will provide additional clearance to hot
oven walls and make it easier to lift out heavy
or large dishes.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
• Do not use 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.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
• 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. Residue from oven cleaners
will damage the inside of the oven when the
self-clean cycle is used.
• Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan and other cookware.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
