Always place oven racks in the desired po-
sitions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack
out to add or remove food, using dry, stur-
dy potholders. Always avoid reaching into
the oven to add or remove food. If a rack
must be moved while hot, use a dry
potholder. Always turn the oven off at the
end of cooking.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before moving or
replacing food.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow
food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plas-
tic frozen food container and/or its cover
distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged
during cooking, immediately discard the
food and its container. The food could be
contaminated.
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven
racks or oven bottom. This could result in
risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to
the appliance. Use foil only as directed in
this guide.
Utensil Safety
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles
that are easily grasped and stay cool.
Avoid using unstable, warped, easily
tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid
using pans, especially small pans, with
heavy handles as they could be unstable
and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to
move when filled with food may also be
hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to proper-
ly contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan
size is particularly important in deep fat
frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the
volume of food that is to be added as well
as the bubble action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, do not extend
handles over adjacent surface burners. Al-
ways turn pan handles toward the side or
back of the appliance, not out into the
room where they are easily hit or reached
by small children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could dam-
age the utensil and the appliance.
