Cooking Safety
NEVER use appliance doors as a s_ep stoot or seat as this
ma\ result in possibJe tipping of the appliance and senous
injuries.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm a room. Doing so may result in carbon monox-
ide poisoning and overheating of the oven
NEVER cover any stots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover the entire rack with materials such as
aJuminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminam foil may also trap heat causing a fire
hazard.
NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air by blocking the oven vent o_ air intakes. Doing so
restricts air to the burners and max result in carbon
monoxide poisoning.
The oven vent is located at the base of the backguard.
Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for
several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of
the vent and surrounding area become hot enough to
cause burns. After oven is turned off, do not touch the
oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include cooktop, areas
facing the cooktop, oven vent, surfaces near the vent
opening, oven doors, areas around the oven doors and
oven windows.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as
the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect
power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
Do not use the cooktop or ovens as a storage area for
