SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
„ Do not store or use flammable materials in or near
an oven, including paper, plastic, pot holders,
linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids. „ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. These garments may ignite if
they contact hot surfaces, causing severe burns.
„ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the oven. Grease
in the oven or near the oven may ignite.
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE OVEN
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.
„ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan.
„ If there is a fire in the oven during baking,
smother the fire by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
„ If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn
the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do
not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air
at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst
of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in severe burns.
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING
STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING
„ Stand away from the oven when opening the
oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
„ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
„ Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease
in the oven may ignite.
„ Place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not
let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven.
„ When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
„ Pulling out the standard racks to their stop-locks
or the extension rack to its fully open position is
a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
„ Do not leave items such as paper, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
„ Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking
stones, or any type of foil or liner on the oven
floor. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting
in damage to the product and risk of shock,
smoke or fire.

The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the
oven. Follow these instructions for safe operation.
„ Do not touch oven surfaces during self-clean
operation. Keep children away from the oven
during self-cleaning. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause burns.
„ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny
silver colored oven racks (on some models), the
probe, any aluminum foil, and any broiler pan,
grid, and other cookware. Only porcelain coated
oven racks may be left in the oven.
„ Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe
grease and food soils from the oven. Excessive
amount of grease may ignite, leading to smoke
damage to your home.
„ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have
it serviced by a qualified technician.
„ 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.
