SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Children in walkers, or children crawling, can
be attracted to the round oven door handle
and may grab and open the oven door.
This
can result in injury from the door being pulled
open on a child, or severe burns if the oven
is in use and hot.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
• Do not use oven for a storage area. Items
stored in an oven can ignite.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door. They could damage the oven or
cause severe personal injury.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
• Do not clean the 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. No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around any part of
the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will
damage the inside of the oven when the self-
clean cycle is used.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the oven
shelves, broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
