controls to OFF .

door.
2. Turn oven control to OFF .
3. As an added precaution, turn off power at main
circuit breaker or fuse box.

5. Allow food or grease to burn itself out in oven. Do not
open oven door.
6. If smoke and fire persist, call fire department.
7. If there is any damage to components, call an
authorized servicer before using range.
