Important Safety Instructions
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Place oven racks in desired position while oven is cool. If a
rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the
potholders contact the broiler element.
Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing foods.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, oven
racks, temperature probe and any other utensils, and
excess spillage.
Please note that some pets or humans can be sensitive to
the odors created during the self-cleaning process whether
it is a manufacturing residue burn off or food, so it is
recommended that those potentially affected be removed
from the kitchen area during the self-clean process.
DO NOT clean, rub, damage, move or remove the door
gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking. If the
gasket becomes worn or excessively soiled with food
particles, replace gasket to assure a tight seal.
Protect the self-cleaning feature. Clean only those parts
indicated in this booklet. DO NOT use commercial oven
cleaners or oven liner protective coatings of any kind in or
around the self-cleaning oven(s).
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the range,
never sit, stand, or lean on the oven door.
Service should only be done by authorized technicians.
Technicians must disconnect the power supply before
servicing this unit.
Listen to be sure the cooling blower runs whenever the
oven controls are set to BROIL or BAKE modes, after oven
heats to 300°F (149°C). If the fan does not operate, do not
use the oven. Call an authorized service center for service.
To avoid a fire hazard, grease accumulation must be
prevented by frequently cleaning the ventilation hood and
filters.
In case of fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor or other
spirits on the range's cooktop, follow manufacturer's
instructions. Use caution when cooking foods with high
alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon)in the oven.
Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of
burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven.
Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the
oven door carefully.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

I WARNING:
DO NOT block or obstruct the flow of air
through the ventilation openings. The oven
vent is located at the back of the appliance.
The vents need to be unobstructed and
open to provide necessary airflow that is
important for proper oven performance.
DO NOT touch oven vent area while the
appliance is on and for several minutes
after the appliance is off. Some parts of the
vent and surrounding areas become hot
enough to cause burns. Allow appliance
sufficient time to cool before touching or
cleaning vent areas.
DO NOT position plastic or other heat-
sensitive items on or near the oven vent.
These items could melt or ignite.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil
during self-cleaning can generate some by-products which
are on the list. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized by:
1. Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2. Providing good ventilation during and immediately
after self cleaning the oven.
3. Operating the unit according to the instructions in this
manual.
DO NOT store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
flammables, or nonfood products in or near this appliance.
It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking
food. The use of corrosive chemicals while heating or
cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in
injury.
