■ Do not use the oven for a storage area. 

Items stored in the oven can ignite.

■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■ Place the oven shelves in the desired

position while the oven is cool.

■ Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also 
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The
lowest position is not designed to slide.

■ Do not heat unopened food containers. 

Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.

■ Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the

oven except as described in this manual.
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or
damage to the range.

■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■ Do not use your oven to dry newspapers. 

If overheated, they can catch fire.

■ Use only glass cookware that is

recommended for use in gas ovens.

■ Always remove any broiler pan from range as

soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the
pan can catch fire if oven is used without
removing the grease from the broiler pan.

■ When broiling, if meat is too close to the

flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to
prevent excessive flare-ups.

■ Make sure any broiler pan is in place

correctly to reduce the possibility of 
grease fires.

■ If you should have a grease fire in a broiler

pan, press the CLEAR/OFF pad, and keep 
the oven door closed to contain fire until 
it burns out.

■ For safety and proper cooking performance,

always bake and broil with the oven door
closed.

■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can
cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

UPPER OVEN

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.
