S
AFETY
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
oven service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Follow utensil manufacturer's
instructions when using glass.
Cleaning Safety
• 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.
Self-Clean Oven
CAUTION
Do not leave rack, broiling pan, food or cooking
utensils, etc. in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
• 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 or oven liners of any kind in
or around any part of the self-clean oven.
Save These Instructions for Future Reference
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan,
oven rack and other utensils, and wipe off excessive
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke or flare ups.
Important Safety Notice and
Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment 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.
