Important Safety Instructions
6. Do not touch the interior surfaces of the
oven during or immediately after use. Do
not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact the bake orbroil burners.
Although these surfaces may be dark in
color, they can still be hot enough to bum.
7. Other areas of the oven can become hot
enough to cause bums, such as vent
openings, window, oven door and oven
racks.
8. Do not use the oven cavity for storage
space.
9. Never use abrasives, commercial oven
cleaners or steel wool to clean any part of
the range or the oven interior.
10. Never attempt to operate the oven during
a power failure.
11. Do not drape towels or other materials on
the oven door handle. These items may
contact a flame or become too hot and
ignite.
12. Do not use aluminum foil to cover the
broiler grid. The foil can trap grease on
top of the grid causing it to ignite.
Due to the nature of cooking, fires can occur
as a result of overcooking or excessive grease
accumulation. Although a fire is unlikely, if
one occurs proceed as follows:
