Hotpoint RB754 Use And Care Manual page 5

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.
• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let a pot holder contact
the heating elements.
• 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.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils,
or food in the oven when not in use.
Do not store flammable materials in an oven or
near the surface units.
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of
the range and clean it. Leftover grease in the
broiler pan can catch on fire the next time you use
the pan.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat dripping in or
near your range.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms,
except as suggested in this guide. Improper
installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.
Self-Cleaning Oven
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around any part of the
oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage
the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle
is used.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan and other cookware.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven OFF and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
