IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
Read the Safety Rules below and all operating instructions
before using this appliance.
Keep this manual for later use.
Be sure your oven is Installed and grounded
properly.
Never try to fix or replace any part of the oven
unless this book tells you to. All other work should
be done by a skilled technician.
Never block free airflow through the oven vent.
See page 5.
Teach your children not to play with oven knobs
or any other part of the range. Never let children
sit or stand on the open oven door.
Never leave children alone or unwatched where
an oven is in use. Children should never be allow-
ed to sit or stand on the open oven door.
Teach children not to play with oven controls.
Never use your oven for warming or heating a
room. Such use can be dangerous and hurt oven
parts.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build-up may make container burst and cause
injury.
Never wear loose clothing while using your oven.
Such clothes could catch fire.
Always use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam out before moving food.
Always move oven racks while oven is cool.
Always use dry pot holders when removing pans
from the oven. Moist or damp pot holders can
cause steam burns. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth. It may catch fire on the element.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat has cooled.
Always keep the oven area clear and free from
things that will burn, gasoline and other flam-
mable vapors and liquids. Never store things in
an oven. These things may catch fire and plastic
items may melt and burn.
3

Never touch oven heating elements or interior sur-
faces of oven. Heating elements and nearby areas
may be hot enough to burn you even though they
are dark in color. During and after use, do not let
clothing or flammable materials touch heating
elements or oven surfaces until they have had time
to cool. Other surfaces that may become hot dur-
ing use are the oven vent duct and the oven door.
When broiling, always take the broiler pan out of
the range and clean it when you are finished cook-
ing. If you forget that a broiler pan was left in the
range and later turn on the oven, you may start
a fire.
Never use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. On-
ly use foil as shown on page 7 of this book. Im-
proper use of foil could start a fire.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN ONLY
Always take the oven racks, the broiler pan and
other pots and pans out of the oven before a self
clean cycle.
Never use any kind of oven cleaner or oven liner
coating. Do not use any spray cans near your
oven. The gas used to make these cans spray can
make metal parts rust in areas of high heat.
The door gasket ISneeded for a good seal so care
should be taken not to rub or move the gasket.
Clean with hydrogen peroxide. See page 8.
Always follow cleaning instructions on pages 10
and 11 of this book. Never try to clean other things
in the oven during a self clean cycle unless this
book tells you to.
