Section 2: Safety Guidelines
Self Clean Safety Instructions
Read the instructions below and the appropriate
oven and clock operation instructions before
attempting to operate.
During self clean cycle, the surfaces may get
hotter than usual and children should be kept
away.
After the safety latch releases do not touch
heating elements or interior surfaces of oven –
heating elements may still be hot even though
they are dark in colour. Interior surfaces of an
oven may still be hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing
or other flammable materials make contact with
heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot
enough to cause burns – for example: oven vent
openings, surfaces near these openings, and oven
doors.
1. Remove utensils and cookware from the
oven. Oven racks and rack supports
should be removed from the oven. Racks
and supports left in the oven during self
clean will become discoloured, but it will
not affect the protective coating.
2. Remove all utensils and food from the
cooktop. Note: use of gas top burners
while range is self cleaning is NOT recom-
mended.
3. Do NOT clean the gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket.
Exhaust Hood Safety
Caution: Do not store items of interest to children
in cabinet above the range or on top of range
cabinet. Children climbing on range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
1. Clean exhaust hood frequently – grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on
hood or filter. See “Hood Operation
Instructions” for more details.
2. When flaming foods under the hood, turn
the fan off. An operating fan may spread
the flame.
Note: A thermostatically controlled cooling fan
will start up during self clean cycle. The fan
will automatically shut off when the cooling
cycle is complete.
