COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY...
(Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F (71°C) and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F (82°C). Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
WARNING!
OVEN
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
Do not heat unopened food containers.
n
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
n Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
n
n Place the oven rack in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If racks must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
n
oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a
n
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a
precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If
n
overheated, they can catch on fire.
Do not use the oven for a storage area.
n
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
n
utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be
used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when
the self-clean cycle is used.
Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is
n
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny,
n
silver-colored oven racks (on some models) and
all other cookware.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
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.
Make sure a broiler pan is in place correctly
n
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
If you should have a grease fire in a broiler
n
pan, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and keep the
oven door closed to contain fire until it burns
out.
Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting
n
the self-cleaning operation.
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
n
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it
serviced by a qualified technician.
