Save These Instructions - GE JKS05 Use And Care Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother fire or flame or use a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven
off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Do not touch the heating elements or the
interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may
be hot enough to burn even though they are dark
in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact,
any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient
time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent
openings and surfaces near the openings, crevices
around the oven door and the edges of the door
window and metal trim above the door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be
safe to eat.

Oven
• Stand away from the oven when opening the
oven door. The hot air or steam which escapes
can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing an injury.
• Keep the oven vent duct
unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease
buildup.
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact
heating elements.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items
stored in an oven can ignite.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom,
except as suggested in this guide. Improper
installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your oven.
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan
out of the oven and clean it. Leftover grease
in the broiler pan can catch fire next time
you use the pan.
