ADDITIONAL ITEMS

COOLING BLOWERS

The range features multiple cooling blowers to protect the electronic components. The blowers

activate when the oven reaches a temperature around 300°F [149°C], and will stay on throughout any

oven cooking cycle. After cooking, even though you may have shut off the oven, the blowers will

remain on until the oven cools down to a temperature near 250°F [121°C].

If you notice the blowers fail to activate during any oven cycle (especially Broil), do not use the oven.

Call for service. Failure to do so may permanently damage the oven.

BROILER PAN

The range is supplied with a porcelain enamel 2-piece broiler pan with slotted cover. The slotted

cover allows drippings to flow into the base of the pan, away from the intense heat of the broiler.

This will reduce smoke and the chance of a grease fire.

DO NOT use aluminum foil or thin, disposable aluminum pans when broiling. These can melt.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

BURN HAZARD - All parts of the range can get very hot during operation. The oven door glass and

areas surrounding the door get very hot, especially during self-cleaning operations. Do not touch

the appliance while in operation. Failure to observe these instructions may result in severe burns or

injury. Do not allow children to use this appliance without adult supervision. Do not allow children

to play in or around the appliance, even when not in use.

MANUAL CLEANING

Minor spills and spatters inside the oven may be cleaned by hand, instead of running a self-clean

cycle. Try wiping up the spill with warm soapy water, or a mild cleanser such as Fantastik

SoftScrub

. Rinse and dry thoroughly. If you choose to use a commercial oven cleaner, follow the

instructions on the product label.

BEFORE RUNNING SELF-CLEAN

Heavy food debris should be removed before running the self-clean cycle. Wipe up any puddles of

grease or debris. Do not scrape the oven surface or door glass with sharp objects, as this may damage

the surfaces, or could leave scratches which would shatter the glass. Remove all oven racks, ladder

racks, broiler pans, utensils, temperature probes, etc. from the oven before self-clean.

Do not pour cold water onto hot surfaces inside the oven. The steam could cause serious burns. The

sudden temperature change could also distort the metal surfaces inside the oven resulting in cracks in

the porcelain.

The self-cleaning cycle uses a very high temperature of 825°F [440°C] to incinerate any food debris

inside the oven cavity. This may produce a little smoke and some odor. This is normal and is typical

for the self-clean cycle, especially if heavily soiled. Turn on your vent hood while running self-clean.

If the smell is strong, remove persons and animals from the kitchen during this period. Open any

windows to further vent the odor from the room.
