Warnings WARNING 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 also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. WARNING DO NOT cook directly on the oven bottom. This could result in damage to your appliance. Always use the oven racks when cooking in the oven. WARNING BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock. CAUTION To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two hours. NOTICE DO NOT turn the Temperature Control on during defrosting. Turning the convection fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food without the heat. CAUTION You must carefully check the food during the dehydration process to ensure that it does not catch fire. CAUTION BURN HAZARD The oven door, especially the glass, can get hot. Danger of burning: DO NOT touch the glass! WARNING This range features a self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and deposits. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the self-clean cycle. Note: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven. Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can damage the porcelain finishes. DO NOT line the oven with aluminum foil or other materials. These items can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle, causing permanent damage to the oven. WARNING DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven after selfcleaning cycle has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the touch! During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there may be some odor and smoking from the "curing" of the binder in the high-density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high temperatures. KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. WARNING BURN HAZARD When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than usual. Therefore, children should be kept away. CAUTION DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured. WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit breaker before replacing bulb. WARNING STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROP 65 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 reporductive harm and requires busineses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. Self-clean ovens can cause low-level exposure to some of these substances, including carbon monoxide, during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood 7
