A WARNING
OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Stand away from the range when opening the oven
door. Hot air or steam which escapes con cause burns
to hands, face and/or eyes.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the
oven may ignite.
■ Place oven rocks in desired location while oven is cool.
If rock must be moved while oven is hot, be careful to
avoid touching hot surfaces.
■ Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when
loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps
prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door
and 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.
■ Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven vent
which is in the center of the backguard. Items may
overheat resulting in a risk of fire or burns.
■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow
the manufacturer's directions.
■ Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is not
permitted due to overheating of control knobs.
A WARNING
SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
■ Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans,
shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the
oven. Only porcelain-coated oven racks may be left in
the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean other parts,
such as grates.
■ 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 o1^
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.
■ 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.
A WARNING WARMING DRAWER/LOWER OVEN DRAWER SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
(Some models)
■ The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow
in food while it is below 140°F. Do not put cold food in
warming drawer. Do not heat food for more than
2 hours. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
foodborne illness.
■ Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or
combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite.
■ Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface
of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to
cause burns.
■ 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 that 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 potentially cause a fire hazard.
