Important note: Special door care instructions - Most oven doors
contain glass that can break. Do not hit the glass with pots,
pans, or any other object. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing
the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased risk of
breakage at a later time. Do not close the oven door until all of
the oven racks are fully in place.
