IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
• The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to
the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances.
• The fiberglass insulation in self-cleaning ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by venting with an
open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic
safety precautions should be followed, including
the following:
• Have the installer show you the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this guide.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
your oven unless it is specifically recommended
in this guide. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE OVEN POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL
BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING
OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
• Be sure the oven is securely installed in a
cabinet that is firmly attached to the house
structure. Never allow anyone to climb sit,
stand or hang on the oven door.
• Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area where an
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• Teach children not to play with the controls or
any other part of the oven.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
the door. They could damage the oven or cause
severe personal injury.
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE AN OVEN. CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE OVEN TO REACH
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• Do not store flammable materials in an oven.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
oven. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot heating elements and
may cause severe burns.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or
damp pot holders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let
pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can
catch fire on a hot heating element.
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.
• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance from
your oven.
• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your oven.
• Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your oven.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the oven.
• Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother fire or flame or use a
multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by
closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by
using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
