SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Children in walkers, or children crawling, can
be attracted to the round oven door handle and
may grab and open the oven door. This can
result in injury from the door being pulled
open on a child, or severe burns if the oven
is in use and hot.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
• Place the oven rack in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled
when hot, do not let pot holder contact the
heating elements.
• 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.
• 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. Residue from oven cleaners will
damage the inside of the oven when the
self-clean cycle is used.
• Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.
• Extending the rack to its fully open position is
a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
• Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored
in an oven can ignite.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door. They could damage the oven or
cause severe personal injury.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have
it serviced by a qualified technician.
• The oven racks may be cleaned in the oven
during the self-cleaning cycle.
