may spread the flame.
UTENSIL
HANDLES
SHOULD
BE
TURNED
INWARD
AND
NOT
EXTEND
OVER
ADJACENT
SURFACE
UNITS-
To
reduce
the
risk
of
burns, ignition of flam-
mable
materials,
and
spillage
due to unin-
tentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface elements.

ELE-
MENTS
-
Heating
elements
should never
be im-
mersed in water. Immersing
element
in water would
damage insulating material inside element.
OVENS:
USE CARE WHEN OPENING DOOR - Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED FOOD CONTAINERS -
Build-up of pressure may cause container to burstand
result in injury.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufac-
turer's instructions. If a plastic frozen food container
and/or its film cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the
food and its container. The food could be contami-
nated.
KEEP OVEN VENT DUCTS
(located under rear ele_
ment; rear corner of cooktop; between oven door and
control panel of wall oven or on backguard)
UNOB-
STRUCTED.
Blockage of vent prevents proper oven
air circulation and will affect oven performance.
Avoid
touching oven vent area while oven is on and for sev-
eral minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the
vent and surrounding
area
become
hot enough
to
cause burns.
PLACEMENT
OF OVEN RACKS -Always
place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must
be moved
while hot, use care
to avoid contact of
potholder with oven element.
