• leave food, broiler trays, cooking utensils,
racks, etc. in the oven during the self clean cycle.
• 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.
Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of
the oven when the self clean cycle is used.
• Remove oven racks and other items from both upper
and lower ovens before starting the self clean cycle.
• Only clean the parts listed in this manual.
Always use a broiler pan and a grid for excess fat and
grease drainage. This will help to reduce splatter, smoke,
and are-ups.
When using your broiler, the temperature inside the oven
will be extremely high. Take caution to avoid possible
burns by:
• Keeping the door closed when broiling (refer to Broil
section of the manual)
• Always wearing oven mitts when inserting or removing
food items.
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 (71.1°C)
Poultry: 165°F (73.9°C)
• manually clean the door gasket. The door
gasket is necessary for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• If the self cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the range
o and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced
by a qualied technician.
• It is normal for parts of the oven to become hot during
a Self Clean cycle.
• Avoid touching the door, window or oven vent area
during a Self Clean cycle.
• block any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air ow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a re
hazard.
• heat food in closed containers. Pressure
inside the container could increase and cause the
container to burst, resulting in injury.
• line oven walls or bottom with aluminum foil
or allow them to contact exposed heating elements in
the oven. Doing so could create a re hazard or cause
damage to the range.
• use the oven for storage. Items stored in the
oven can catch on re.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Insert the oven racks in the desired position while the
oven is cool.
• To prevent burns when removing food, slide racks out
until the stop engages, then remove food items. This
may also protect you from getting burnt by touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
• When placing or removing a griddle, always wear
oven mitts.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use
in gas ovens.
• Always remove the broiler pan from the range after
you nish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch
re if the oven is used without removing the grease
from the broiler pan.
• If meat is too close to the ame while broiling, the fat
may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive are-
ups.
• Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly to
minimize the possibility of grease res.
• If you have a grease re in the broiler pan, touch UPPER
CLEAR/OFF or LOWER CLEAR/OFF and keep the oven
door closed to contain the re until it burns out.
• For safety and better cooking performance, always
bake and broil with the oven door closed. Open door
baking or broiling can cause damage to the knobs
or valves. leave the oven door open during
cooking or while the oven is cooling down.
