About Your Appliance
• For proper oven performance and operation, DO NOT block or obstruct the
oven vent duct located on the right side of the air grille.
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after
oven is turned off. When the oven is in use, the vent and surrounding area
become hot enough to cause burns. After oven is turned off, DO NOT touch
the oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to
cool.
• Other potentially hot surfaces include rangetop, areas facing the rangetop,
oven vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven door, areas around the oven
door and oven window.
• The misuse of oven doors (e.g. stepping, sitting, or leaning on them) can
result in potential hazards and/or injuries.
Power Failure
If power failure occurs, the electric igniters will not work. No attempt should be
made to operate the appliance during a power failure. Make sure the oven
control is in the “OFF” position.
Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected only when
the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will function
properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or may not affect range
operation, depending on how severe the power loss is.

Self-Clean Oven
Clean only parts listed in this guide. DO NOT clean 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 of any kind in
or around any part of the self-clean oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks and other
utensils and wipe up excessive spillovers to prevent excessive smoke,
flareups or flaming.
This range features a cooling fan which operates automatically during a
clean cycle. If the fan does not turn on, cancel the clean operation and
contact an authorized servicer.
It is normal for the rangetop cooking surface of the range to become hot
during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the rangetop cooking
surface during a clean cycle should be avoided.
Important Safety Notice and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986
(Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances. Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that when the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some
low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon
monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by properly
venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in
the room where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.
Important notice regarding pet birds:
NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the
kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes
released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to
birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and
overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.
