IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
■
Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure
could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.
■
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■
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.
■
When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■
Pulling out the shelf 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.
■
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■
Do not use the 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 use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms,
except as suggested in this manual. Improper
installation of aluminum foil may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire.
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to
hands, face and/or eyes.
WARNING!
OVEN
■
The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold
hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always
start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated
or cooked in the warming drawer.
■
Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■
Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned
food, or combustible materials in the drawer.
■
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or
near your drawer.
■
Do not warm food in the drawer for more than
two hours.
■
Do not touch the heating element or the interior
surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot
enough to burn.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the drawer
may be hot when the drawer is opened.
■
Use care when opening the drawer. Open the
drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food. Hot air or
steam which escapes can cause burns to hands,
face and/or eyes.
■
Do not use aluminum foil to line the warming
drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and
will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the
performance of the drawer and it could
damage the interior finish.
WARMING DRAWER
(on some models)
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.
■
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.
■
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan, grid and other cookware.
■
Shiny, silver-colored oven shelves (on some
models) should be removed from the oven
before beginning the self-clean cycle.
■
Gray porcelain-coated oven shelves (on some
models) may be cleaned in the oven during
the self-clean cycle.
■
Be sure to wipe off 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.
■
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.
