Warnings
Self-Clean Oven
• Clean only parts listed in this guide. DO NOT clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. DO NOT use oven cleaners of any kind in or around any part of the self-clean
oven.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove oven racks and other utensils and wipe up excessive spillovers to prevent excessive
smoke, flareups or flaming.
• This range features a cooling fan which operates automatically during a clean cycle. If the fan does not turn on, cancel the clean
operation and contact an authorized servicer.
• It is normal for the top cooking surface of the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the top
cooking surface during a clean cycle should be avoided.
Important Safety Notice and Warning
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 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, including 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.
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 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.
About Your Appliance
• For proper oven performance and operation, DO NOT block or obstruct the oven vent duct located on the right side of the air grille.
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after oven is turned off. When the oven is in use, the vent and
surrounding area become hot enough to cause burns. After oven is turned off, DO NOT touch the oven vent or surrounding areas
until they have had sufficient time to cool.
• Other potentially hot surfaces include rangetop, areas facing the rangetop, oven vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven door,
areas around the oven door and oven window.
• The misuse of oven doors (e.g. stepping, sitting, or leaning on them) can result in potential hazards and/or injuries.
Power Failure
If power failure occurs, the electric igniters will not work. No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure.
Make sure the oven control is in the “OFF” position.
Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected only when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the
range will function properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or may not affect range operation, depending on how severe
the power loss is.
WARNING
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a
room to prevent potential hazard to the user and damage
to the appliance. Also, DO NOT use the rangetop or oven as
a storage area for food or cooking utensils.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
DO NOT
touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp
cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb
break, disconnect power to the appliance before
removing bulb to avoid electrical shock.
