About Your Appliance; Cooking Safety - Kenmore 30-inch electric wall ovens Owner's Manual

To
prevent injury or damage to the appliance, do not use
appliance as a space heater
to heat or warm a room.
Also, do not use the oven as
a storage area for food or
cooking utensils.
The oven vent is located
above the oven door. Keep
oven vent duct
unobstructed. Blockage of
the vent prevents proper
oven air circulation and will
affect oven performance.
Avoid touching vent area while oven is on and for several
minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the vent and
surrounding areas may become hot enough to cause
burns.
Do not touch oven elements, areas near elements or interior
surface of oven. Heating elements may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven may
become hot enough to cause bums. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact
heating elements, areas near 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 the oven vent
opening and surfaces near the vent opening, oven door, and
oven window.
Do not allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other metal
object, other than a utensil on a surface element, to contact
heating elements.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the
bulb could break. If bulb breaks, disconnect power to the
appliance to avoid electrical shock then remove bulb.
CAUTION: Do not use an
appliance as a step stool
to cabinets above.
Misuse of appliance
doors, such as stepping,
leaning or sitting on the
door, may result in
possible tipping of the
appliance, breakage of
door, and serious
injuries.

Always turn off the oven when cooking is completed.
Never heat an unopened container as pressure build-up
may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal
injury or damage to the appliance.
Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot
surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the appliance.
Use caution when wearing garments made of flammable
material to avoid clothing fires. Loose fitting or long
hanging-sleeved apparel should not be worn while cooking.
Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles.
Always place oven racks in the desired positions while oven
is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food; avoid
reaching into the oven. If a rack must be moved while oven
is hot, use a dry pot holder and avoid touching hot element
in oven.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's
instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or itscover
distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking,
immediately discard the food and its container. The food
could be contaminated.
