cleaning. Clean with caution. Use care to avoid steam
burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes
if applied to a hot surface.
• Clean only parts listed in this guide.
Self-Clean Oven
CAUTION
Do not leave racks, broiling pan, food or cooking
utensils, etc. in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
• Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, dam-
age, or move the gasket.
• Do not use oven cleaners or oven liners of any kind in or
around any part of the self-clean oven.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven
racks and other utensils, and wipe off excessive
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke or flare ups.
Important Safety Notice and
Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to the
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the
oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be
some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances,
including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances
can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the
outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in the room
where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never
keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes
from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive
respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-
cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes
released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and
overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.
Safety
hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the
life of the components of the appliance.
• If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element
will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite
clothing or potholder.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop or oven service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Follow utensil manu-
facturer’s instructions when using glass.
• Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into
the room or over another surface element. This reduces
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or
spillage if pan is accidently bumped or reached by small
children.
Cooktop
• NEVER leave surface units unattended especially when
using high heat. An unattended boilover could cause
smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.
• This appliance is equipped with different size surface
elements. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to
cover element. Fitting pan size to element will improve
cooking efficiency.
• GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE: NEVER cook on broken
cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or
disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before
attempting to move pan.
Ventilating Hoods
• Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent
grease or other flammable materials from accumulating
on hood or filter and to avoid grease fires.
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Cleaning Safety
• Clean cooktop with caution. Turn off all controls and
wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or
