hands, face and/or eyes.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be
used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the
self-clean cycle is used.
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.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan, grid and other cookware.
Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting
the self-cleaning operation.
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven
off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced

Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.
Take the shelves out of the oven before you begin
the self-clean cycle or they may discolor.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
(on some models)
The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start
with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked
in the warming drawer.
Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food
or combustible materials in the drawer.
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near
your drawer.
Do not warm food in the drawer for more than
two hours.
Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven drawer
pan in the upper oven.
Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface
of the drawer.
These surfaces may be hot enough
to burn.
REMEMBER:
The inside surface of the drawer may be
hot when the drawer is opened.
Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer
a crack and let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, face and±or eyes.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower oven
drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will
trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance
of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.
