Oven
Use care when opening door. Let hot air
or steam escape before removing or replac­
ing food.
For proper oven operation and perfor­
mance, do not block or obstruct oven vent
duct.
Always place oven racks in desired locations while oven is
cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
Self-Cleaning Oven
Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door gas­
ket. The gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage, or move the gas­
ket.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commer­
cial oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks
and other utensils to prevent excessive smoking, discolora­
tion of the oven racks or possible damage to utensils.
Wipe up excessive spillovers, especially greasy spills, be­
fore the clean cycle to prevent smoking or flare-ups.
It is normal for the cooktop to become hot during a clean
cycle. Therefore, avoid touching or lifting the cooktop dur­
ing a clean cycle.
Heating Elements
NEVER touch surface or oven heating elements, areas
near elements, or interior surfaces of oven.
Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Areas near surface elements and interior surfaces of
an oven may become hot enough to cause bums. During and
after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements, areas near elements, or
interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time
to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include; Cooktop, areas fac­
ing the cooktop, oven vent, and surfaces near the vent open­
ing, oven door, areas around the door and oven window.
Child Safety

pervised in area where appliance is in
use or is still hot.

terest to children in cahinets above an
appliance or on backguard of a range.

drawer to reach items could damage the
appliance or be burned or seriously injured.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in
or on it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out
of reach of small children. Children should be taught that
an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed
to play with controls or other parts of the unit.
Ventilating Hoods
Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent grease
or other flammable materials from accumulating on hood
or filter and to avoid grease fires.

Jubilee) under the hood.
Important Safety Notice and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce­
ment Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor
of California to publish a list of substances known to the
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the
oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some
low level exposure to some of the listed substances, in­
cluding carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances
can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the out­
doors during the self-clean cycle by opening a window
and/or door in the room where the appliance is located.
