important Safety instructions IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS YOUR OVEN FOR USING iMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS YOUR RANGE FOR CLEANING • Use care when opening oven door or warmer drawer (if equipped)--Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven/warmer drawer. • Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located at the rear of the cooktop. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite. NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard. • Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning. SELF CLEANING OVENS • in the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed in this Use and Care Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven. • 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. • Placement of oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven/ warmer drawer (if equipped) is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven/warmer d rawer (if equipped). Remove all utensils from the rack before moving. • 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. •_ The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self- cleaning cycle of the range. Move the birds to another well ventilated room. • Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. • Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite. • Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing light bulb. 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.
