sickness from food poisoning.
Should an oven re occur, leave the oven door closed and turn the oven o . If
the re continues, throw baking soda on the re or use a re extinguisher.

explosive and water can cause a grease re to spread and cause personal injury.
DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid. DO NOT cover the grid with alu-
minum foil.
Do not use plastic to cover food. Use foil or oven resistant lids only.
If the oven is heavily soiled with oil, self clean the oven before using the oven
again. It could cause a risk of re.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom of the oven before using the Self Clean func-
tion.
Use proper pan sizes. For smaller pots and pans, use the smaller heating elements.
For larger pots and pans, use the larger heating elements. Select utensils that have at
bottoms large enough to cover the heating elements. The use of undersized utensils
will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in igni-
tion of clothing.
Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boil overs cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Glazed cooking utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earth-
enware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for a range-top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface
units. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional 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 units.
Be careful not to close your ngers in the drawer. Only use the pocket type handle on
the drawer panel. Grasping the back side of the drawer panel may cause injury by a
hidden bracket on the door bottom.
