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 bot-
toms, except as suggested in the manual. Im-
proper installation of these liners may result
in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Glass-Ceramic
Cooktop
(select models)
NEVER cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop
and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
Clean cooktop with caution. Some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface. If a wet sponge, cloth or paper towel
is used on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid steam burn.
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.
Oven
Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air
or steam escape before removing or replac-
ing food.
For proper oven operation and performance,
do not block or obstruct oven vent duct.
When oven is in use, the area near the vent
may become hot enough to cause burns.
Always place oven racks in desired locations
while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, do not let potholder touch
hot heating element.
Self-Cleaning
Oven
Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not
clean door gasket. The gasket is essential for
Save These Instructions for Future Reference
a good seal. Do not 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.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler
pan, oven racks and other utensils to prevent
excessive smoking, discoloration of the oven
racks or possible damage to utensils.
Wipe up excessive spillovers, especially greasy
spills, before the clean cycle to prevent smok-
ing, flare-ups or flaming.
It is normal for the cooktop to become hot
during a clean cycle. Therefore, avoid touch-
ing the cooktop, door, window or oven vent
during a clean cycle.
Heating Elements
NEVER touch surface or oven heating ele-
ments, areas near elements, or interior sur-
faces 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 burns. During
and after use, do not touch or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact heating el-
ements, areas near elements, or interior sur-
faces of oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include:
Cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent,
and surfaces near the vent opening, oven door,
areas around the door and oven window.
Child Safety
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised
where appliance is in use or is hot.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of interest to
children in cabinets above an appliance or on
backguard of a range. Children climbing on
appliance, door or drawer to reach items could
damage the appliance or be burned or seri-
ously injured.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any
part of appliance as they could be injured or
burned.
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
children. Children should be taught that an
appliance is not a toy and not 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 to avoid fires.
Turn the fan on when flambéing foods (such
as Cherries Jubilee) under the hood.
Important Safety
Notice and
Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) re-
quires 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 cus-
tomers of potential exposures to such sub-
stances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that when it is engaged in the self-clean cycle,
there may be low level exposure to some of
the listed substances, including carbon mon-
oxide. Exposure can be minimized by prop-
erly venting the oven to the outdoors during
the self-clean cycle by opening a window
and/or door in the room where the appliance
is located.
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 sensi-
tive respiratory system. Fumes released dur-
ing an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harm-
ful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to
overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and
overheated non-stick cookware may be
equally harmful.
