• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.

FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.
• Keep hood and grease filters clean to maintain
good venting and to avoid grease fires.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or
near your range.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly
and always cook the meat to an internal temperature

possibility that trichina may be present in the meat,
it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

Oven

• 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.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing an injury.
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of
the range and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler
pan can catch on fire next time you use the pan.
• Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the oven.
• Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains,
or drapes a safe distance from your range.
• Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease
buildup.
• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance from
your range.
• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance from your range.
• 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.
• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a
precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
