exposure to these substances, provide good
ventilation with an open window, or use a
ventilation fan or hood.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the self-
cleaning cycle. Always operate the unit according
to the instructions in this manual.
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks
and will not open. If the door does not lock, do
not run Self-Clean. Contact service.
During Self-Clean, the oven is heated to a very high
temperature. Soil is burned off at this temperature.
