A
Self-Cleaning Lower Oven:
• Stand away from the cooking center when
opening the oven door. The hot air or steam
which escapes can cause bums to hands, face
and/or eyes.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing an injury.
• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or
near your oven.
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact
the heating elements.
• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against bums from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
' When using cooking or roasting hags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan out
of the oven and clean it. Leftover grease in the
broiler pan can catch fire the next time you use
the pan.
• Listen for fan—a fan noise should be heard
sometime during the cleaning cycle. If not,
call for service before self-cleaning again,
»Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
• Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the cooking center.
• Do not store anything in your oven. These items
may catch on fire, and plastic items may melt.
Always keep the oven clear and free of items that
may bum.
• Do not line the oven bottom with aluminum
foil. Do not use aluminum foil except as
suggested in this guide.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to mb, damage or move the gasket.
• 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-cleaning
cycle is used.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning cycle.
• Keep the cooking center clean and free of
accumulations of grease or spillovers, which
may ignite.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan and other cookware.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it
serviced by a qualified technician.
