Important notice regarding pet birds:
NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the
kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes
released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-
stick cookware may be harmful.
About Your Appliance
• For proper oven performance and operation, DO NOT block or obstruct the
oven vent duct located on the right side of the air grille.
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after
oven is turned off. When the oven is in use, the vent and surrounding area
become hot enough to cause burns. After oven is turned off, DO NOT
touch the oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time
to cool.
• Other potentially hot surfaces include rangetop, areas facing the rangetop,
oven vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven door, areas around the
oven door and oven window.
• The misuse of oven doors (e.g. stepping, sitting, or leaning on them) can
result in potential hazards and/or injuries.
Power Failure
If power failure occurs, the electric igniters will not work. No attempt should be
made to operate the appliance during a power failure. Make sure the oven
control is in the “OFF” position.
Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected only when
the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will function
properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or may not affect range
operation, depending on how severe the power loss is.

WARNING
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room to prevent
potential hazard to the user and damage to the appliance. Also, DO NOT
use the rangetop or oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
DO NOT touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the
bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power
to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock.
Warnings
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit
breaker before replacing bulb.
WARNING
CAUTION
To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to
remain in the oven for more than two hours.
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before
cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical
shock.
NOTICE
DO NOT turn the Temperature Control on during defrosting. Turning
the convection fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food
without the heat.
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.
