10 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not place food or cookware on the bottom of the oven cavity. Doing so will cause permanent damage
to the oven bottom finish.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
• To protect against food-borne illnesses, cook meat and poultry thoroughly. The USDA has indicated the
following as safe minimum internal temperatures for consumption:
- Ground beef: 160 °F
- Poultry: 165 °F
- Beef, veal, pork, or lamb: 145 °F
- Fish/seafood: 145 °F
• Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware. Items stored in the oven can catch on fire.
• To prevent damage to the oven door, do not attempt to open the door when Lock is displayed (on some
models).
• Do not use delayed baking for highly perishable foods such as dairy products, pork, poultry, or seafood.
Maintenance
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All
other servicing should be performed by a qualified technician.
• Do not use harsh etching, abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass
because they can scratch the surface. Scratches may cause the glass to shatter.
• Make sure oven lights are cool before cleaning.
• 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.
• To prevent staining or discoloration, clean the appliance after each use.
• Wear gloves when cleaning the range to avoid injury or burns.
• Clean in the self-clean cycle only parts listed in this manual. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, all oven racks, the meat probe and any utensils or food from the oven.
