Getting Started
CAUTION
DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children
climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than usual,
therefore, children should be kept away.
WARNING
This range features a self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven
reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and deposits.
A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion
of the self-clean cycle.
NOTE: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven. Use
of these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can damage the
porcelain finishes. DO NOT line the oven with aluminum foil or other
materials. These items can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle,
causing permanent damage to the oven.
CAUTION
DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven after
self-cleaning cycle has begun, since some parts become
extremely hot to the touch!
During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there
may be some odor and smoking from the “curing” of the binder in
the high-density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is
thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent
self-cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high
temperatures.
KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING THE SELF-
CLEAN CYCLE.
CAUTION
You must carefully check the food during the dehydration process to
ensure that it does not catch fire.

Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit
breaker before replacing bulb.
WARNING
CAUTION
To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to
remain in the oven for more than two hours.
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before
cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical
shock.
NOTICE
DO NOT turn the Temperature Control on during defrosting. Turning
the convection fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food
without the heat.

The oven door, especially the glass, can get hot. Danger
of burning: DO NOT touch the glass!
Warnings
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 posioning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazord.
