Important safety instructions
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
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.
• Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. Birds are extremely
sensitive to the fumes released during an oven self-cleaning
cycle. Fumes may be harmful or fatal to birds. Move birds to a
well-ventilated room.
• Clean only the parts listed in this manual in the self-cleaning
cycle. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the partition,
rack, utensils, and any food.
• Before operating the self-cleaning cycle, wipe grease and
food soils from the oven. Excessive amounts of grease may
ignite, leading to smoke damage to your home.
• Do not use any commercial oven cleaner or oven liner
protective coating of any kind in or on the outside of the oven.
• Remove the nickel oven shelves from the oven before you
begin the self cleaning cycle or they may discolor.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and
disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified
technician.
• Excess spillage must be removed before you run the self
cleaning cycle.

VENTILATING HOOD
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Do not let grease
accumulate on the hood or filter.
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING SURFACES
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS.
Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color.
Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact the surface units or areas
near the units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cook-top and the facing of the
cook-top.
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used
to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam
burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
