Burn Prevention • DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface
units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units
may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact surface units
or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these
areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF
OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.
Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materi-
als contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot
enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings, sur-
faces near these openings and oven doors.
• Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open the
door (or drawer) slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep
your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or pets
near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your
cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes.
Do not leave open doors unattended.
• Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and cause injury.
• Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must
be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating elements.
