When using the oven
@Always position oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is
cool. If a rack must be removed
while oven is hot, do not let pot
holder contact hot heating ele-
ment in oven.
@Use care when opening oven
door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.
Grease
@Grease is flammable. Do not
allow grease to collect around
cooktop or in vents. Wipe spill-
overs immediately.
@Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on range by
covering with a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming
grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda
or, if available, a multipurpose
dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
Care and cleaning
@Clean cooktop with care. Some
cleaners could produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
If a wet paper towel is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area,
be careful to avoid steam burns.
l
Small amounts of formaldehyde
and carbon monoxide are given
off in the Self-Cleaning cycle from
fiberglass insulation and food
decomposition. Significant expo-
sure to these substances could
cause cancer or reproductive
harm. Exposure can be mini-
mized by venting with a hood or
open window and wiping out
excess food spills prior to self-
cleaning.
@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.
@Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove broiler pan, broiler grid,
oven racks, and other utensils. Do
not use your oven to clean miscel-
laneous parts unless you are
instructed to do so in this Use and
Care Guide.
@Do not clean door heat seal. It is
essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, dam-
age, or move the seal. Clean only
parts recommended in this Use
and Care Guide.
@Do not repair or replace any part
of the range unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
@Disconnect the electrical supply
before servicing the range.
