IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Never attempt to dry a pet in the oven.
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the oven or the surface element.
Cookware will be hot. Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let the pot holder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth to remove food.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure in the containers may cause them to burst which may
result in injury.
• Be certain that all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating. Keep plastic,
clothes, paper, and other flammable materials away from parts of the appliance that may become hot.
• Do not allow aluminum foil or the temperature probe to contact heating elements.
• Do not touch the hot surface between the bottom of the oven door and the top of the drawer on the
front of the oven while the oven is in operation. The surface becomes hot and can cause burns and other
injury.
• Do not touch the oven racks while they are hot.
• If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the pot holder contact the hot heating element
in the oven.
• Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps
prevent burns caused by touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls.
• Do not use the oven if a heating element develops a glowing spot during use or shows other signs of
damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating element may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or
shock hazard. Turn the oven off immediately and have the heating element replaced by a qualified
service technician.
• During oven operation, the upper surface of the drawer cavity becomes hot and may cause burns. Never
allow children to remain unsupervised near the oven or cooktop.
• Do not put your hand inside the drawer while the oven is operating.
Maintenance
• Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the back guard of a range.
Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Do not allow children to crawl into the oven.
• Let hot cookware and utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children.
• If the door glass, cooktop glass, surface, or oven heating unit of the range are damaged, discontinue use
of the range and call for service.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could
damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
• Always disconnect power from the appliance before servicing.
• Before replacing the oven light, switch off the electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit
breaker panel. Failure to do so can result in severe personal injury, death, or electrical shock.
• Never pour cold water over a hot oven for cleaning. Doing so may cause the oven to malfunction.
Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials
• Do not store or use flammable material in the oven or near or on the cooktop. Flammable materials
include paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, and gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids such as grease or cooking oil. These materials can be ignited when the oven and
cooktop are in use.
• Use extreme caution when moving or disposing of hot grease.
