IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
SAFETY FOR THE OVEN.
• Do not touch heating elements or interior sur-
faces of oven.
• The heating (bake and broil) elements may be
hot though they are dark in color. Interior sur-
faces of an oven become hot enough to cause
burns.
• During and after use, do not touch or let cloth-
ing or other flammable materials contact the
heating (bake and broil) elements or the inte-
rior surfaces of the oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
• The trim on the top and sides of the oven door
of the range may become hot enough to cause
burns.
• Use care when opening the door. Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing
food.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Buildup of pressure may cause the container
to burst and result in injury.
• Do not block the oven vent ducts (located
along the top of the backsplash, back trim, or
cooktop).
• Always place oven racks in desired location
while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved
while oven is hot, do not let potholder con-
tact the hot heating elements
• If F-1 or F-3 flashes in the display, follow in-
structions in “Solving Operational Problems.”
SAFETY FOR THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN

ket.

cess spillage.

oven during the self-cleaning mode of opera-
tion.
