above an app!iance. Children piimbing Onthe app!!ance

or on the appliance door to reach items could be

sedousiy injured,

NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the

appliance when it is in use or is still hot. Children should

never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appli-

ance as they could be injured or burned.

Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in

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 appliance.

About Your Appliance

above. Misuse of appliance door, such as stepping,

tipping of the appliance, breakage of door, and serious

injuries,

To prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the

appliance, do not use appliance as a space heater to heat

or warm a room. Also, do not use the oven as a storage

area for food or cooking utensils.

Do not obstruct the flow of air by blocking the oven venL

DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR

SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even

though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of any

oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and

after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable

materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of

oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other

surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to

cause burns - among these surfaces are: oven vent

opening and surface near this opening, oven door, win-

dow of oven door.

Do not touch a hot oven light bulbwith a damp cloth as

the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect

power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid

electrical shock

NEVER use aluminum foil to cover an oven rack or oven

bottom. Misuse could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or

damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this

guide.

Cooking Safety

Never heat an unopened food container in the oven.

Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in

serious personal injury or damage to the appliance.

Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause

burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should

never be used as potholders because they can trail across

hot elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.

Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or long hanging-sleeved

apparel should not be worn while cooking. Clothing may

ignite and cause burns if garment comes in contact with

heating elements.

Always place oven racks in the desired positions while oven

is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using

dry, sturdy potholders. Always avoid reaching into the oven

to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot,

use a dry potholder. Do not let potholder contact hot

element in oven.

Use racks only in the oven in which they were shipped/

purchased.

Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food.

PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's

instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its

cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during

cooking, immediately discard the food and its container.

The food could be contaminated.

Do not allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact

heating element.

Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.

Utensim Safety

Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven

cooking bags.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using

conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accesso-

ries that are not specifically recommended in this guide. Do

not use eyelid covers, stove top grills or add-on oven

convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that

are not expressly recommended in this guide can create

serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and

reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will

be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or

potholder.

Only certain types of glass, glass!ceramic, ceramic, earth-

enware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or

oven service without breaking due to the sudden change

in temperature. Follow utensil manufacturer's instructions

when using glass.

Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into the

room or over another surface element. This reduces the

risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage if

pan is accidently bumped or reached by small children.

Cleaning Safety

Clean cooktop with caution. Turn off all controls and wait

for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning.

Clean with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet

sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface.

Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a

hot surface.

Clean only parts listed in this guide.

Seff-Cmean Oven

NEVER leave surface units unattended especially when

using high heat. An unattended boilover could cause

smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.

This appliance is equipped with different size surface

elements. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to

cover element. Fitting pan size to element will improve

cooking efficiency.

CoimEmements

To prevent damage to removable heating elements, do

not immerse, soak or clean in a dishwasher or self-clean

oven. A damaged element could short resulting in a fire

or shock hazard.

Make sure drip bowls are in place as absence of these

bowls during cooking could damage wiring.

Protective Liners: Do not use aluminum foil to line

surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as

suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these

liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

Deep Fat Fryers

Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or

disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before

attempting to move pan.

Ventimating 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.

When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

utensils, etc, in the oven during the self:clean cycle.

Do not dean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a

good seal. Care should be taken notto rub, damage, or

move the gasket.

Do not use oven cleaners or oven liners of any kind in or

around any part of the self-clean oven.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven

racks and other utensils, and wipe off excessive spillovers to

prevent excessive smoke or flare ups.

important Safety Notice and

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement

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 expo-

sures 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, includ-

ing carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be

minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors by

opening the windows and/or door in the room where the

appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.

UMPORTANT NOTUCE REGARDUNG PET BURDS: 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 during an oven self-

cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes

released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and

overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

• Avoid touching cooktop, door. window or oven vent area

during a clean cycle.

• Do no_use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish

or around any part of the oven. The:, will damage the

finish or parts.

The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures

to automatically clean the oven interior.

It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur during

cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the

oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-

up of soil in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well

ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.

Before Seff-C eaning

1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The light may burn

out during the clean cycle.

2. Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the

oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily

after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed.

3. Clean oven frame, door frame, area outside of gasket, and

around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive

cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The

self-cleaning process does not clean these areas. They

should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during

the clean cycle. (The gasket is the

seal around the oven door and _ _

window}. ".

4. To prevent damage, do not clean or

rub the gasket around the oven

door. The gasket is designed to

seal in heat during the clean cycle.

5. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom.

This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming

during the clean cycle.

6. Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet

potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel

is acid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may

discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up before a self-clean

cycle.
