8 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the
oven. This helps prevent burns caused by touching hot surfaces of the door and oven
walls.
• Do not use the oven if a heating element develops a glowing spot during use or shows
other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating element may fail and present
a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the oven off immediately and have the heating
element replaced by a qualified service technician.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
SAFETY WHEN CLEANING
• Open a window or turn on a ventilation fan or hood before self-cleaning.
• If the oven is heavily soiled with oil, self-clean the oven before using the oven again. The
oil could cause a fire.
• Wipe up heavy soil on the bottom of the oven before using the Self Clean function.
• Do not use oven cleaners. Commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of
any kind should not be used in or around any part of the oven.
• Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. The health of birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes
released during an oven self-clean cycle. Fumes may be harmful or fatal to birds. Move
birds to a well-ventilated room.
• Clean in the self-clean cycle only parts listed in this manual. Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan, all oven racks, the meat probe and any utensils or food from the
oven.
• Important Instruction. The oven displays an F error code and sounds three long beeps
during the self-cleaning process if it malfunctions in the self-clean mode. Switch off the
electrical power to the main fuse or breaker and have the oven serviced by a qualified
technician.
• It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle.
Therefore, touching the cooktop during a self-clean cycle should be avoided.
• Never pour cold water over a hot oven for cleaning. Doing so may cause the oven to
malfunction.
• Make sure oven lights are cool before cleaning.
• 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.
• If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go
out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may
lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe
burns.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY
• 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, veal, pork, or lamb: 160 °F
• Poultry: 165 °F
• Beef, veal, pork, or lamb: 145 °F
• Fish/seafood: 145 °F
