When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that,
in the remote possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat

while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact
the heating elements.

a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
