n Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
n Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
n Place the oven racks in the desired position
while the oven is cool.
n Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest
position is not designed to slide.
n Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
n Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in
the oven except as described in this manual.
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage
to the range.
n When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
n Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
n Use only glass cookware that is recommended
for use in gas ovens.
n Always remove any broiler pan from range
as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in
the pan can catch fire if oven is used without
removing the grease from the broiler pan.
n When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,
the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups.
n Make sure any broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
n If you should have a grease fire in a broiler
pan, touch the Clear/Off pad, and keep
the oven door closed to contain fire until
it burns out.
n For safety and proper cooking performance,
always bake and broil with the oven door
closed.
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape
can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

n Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
n Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
the racks, any broiler pan, grid and other
cookware.
n 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.
n Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.
n If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power
supply. Have it serviced by a qualified
technician.
n Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner 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.

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 poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.
