CAUTION
• Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above the appliance. Children climbing
on the appliance to reach items could be
seriously injured.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause container to burst and
result in injury.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Grease may catch fire if it becomes too hot.
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires.
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher. Cover the fire with a pan
lid or use baking soda.
• Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot cooking areas. Do
not use towels or other bulky cloths.
• Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance.
• Do not touch heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven - Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Interior
surfaces of an oven become hot enough to
cause burns.
• During and after use, do not let clothing or other
flammable materials contact hot surfaces of the
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 (identification of surfaces - for example, oven
vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven doors, and windows of oven
doors).

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the oven when opening the door of a
hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching
surfaces in this area when the oven is on may
cause severe burns.
• Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or
near the oven vent. These items can melt or ignite.
• Placement of oven racks - Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element in oven. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition.
• Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven. Remove all bakeware before
moving the rack.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the
broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and
grease could ignite.
• Protective liners - Do not use aluminum foil or any
other materials to line oven bottoms, except as
suggested in the manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or
fire.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Cook in
proper bakeware and always use the oven racks.
