The cooktop displays a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is too
hot to touch. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning
around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.
The racks are designed with a stop so they will stop before coming completely out
of the oven and not tilt.
CAUTION:
To avoid burns, place oven racks in desired positions before turning
oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm.If a rack must
be moved while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact hot heat-
ing elements.

Do not place food directly on oven bottom. Do not use aluminum foil or protective
liners to line any part of an appliance, especially surface unit drip bowls or oven
bottom. Installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
The oven vent is located below the display above the rear left cooktop element. It
is normal to see steam escaping from the vent and condensation may collect on
the backguard and cooktop. This area may become hot when the oven is in use.
Do not block the vent as it is important for air circulation.
The oven will automatically shut off after 12 hours (24 hours if the time format is
set for 24 hour in the Select Function section).
The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor
involved with cleaning your oven.
