Important Safety Instructions
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom, except as suggested in
the manual. Improper installation of these liners
may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.
• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven or
microwave oven. This includes paper, plastic
and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware
and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not
store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or
near the appliance.
• Do not leave children alone—Children should
not be left alone or unattended in the area
where appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVENS. ALL
oven heating elements may be hot even though
they are dark in color. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials touch these areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are
the oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven door and window.
• Wear proper apparel—Loose-fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance. Do not let clothing
or other flammable materials contact hot
surfaces.
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires—
Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use
baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to
become too hot.
• Use only dry potholders - Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch
hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
IMPORTANT
Do not attempt to operate the appliance
during a power failure. If the power fails, always
turn off the appliance. If the appliance is not
turned off and the power resumes, the appliance
will begin to operate again. Once the power
resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
• Do not heat unopened food containers -
Buildup of pressure may cause container to
burst and result in injury.
• Remove the oven door from any unused
appliance if it is to be stored or discarded.
Important instructions for using your
oven
• Use care when opening oven door—Stand to
the side of the appliance when opening the door
of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before
you remove or replace food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The
oven vents are located under the control panel
and in between the ovens. Touching the surfaces
in this area when the oven is operating may
cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic
or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent.
These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of oven racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool.
If rack must be moved while oven is hot use
extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the
rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
potholders contact the hot heating elements
in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert.
The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to
drain and be kept away from the high heat of the
broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum
foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
