WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
s
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance.
Be careful when reaching for items stored
over the range. Flammable material could
be ignited if brought in contact with
hot surface units or heating elements
and may cause severe burns.
s
Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch hot surface units or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth.
s
For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
s
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in
or near the range.

OVEN

s
Stand away from the range when opening
the oven door. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
s
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
s
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
s
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
s
Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
s
Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY...

an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these internal temperatures usually protects against foodborne

illness.

in or near your range.

holders and other linens a safe distance
from your range.

the oven, follow the manufacturer's
directions.

bottoms, except as suggested in this
manual. Improper installation of
aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
