IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
• Wear proper apparel - Loose-fi tting or
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance. Do not let
clothing or other fl ammable materials
contact hot surfaces.
• Do not touch surface burners or el-
ements, areas near these burners or
elements, interior surfaces of the oven, or
the warmer drawer (if equipped). Sur-
face burners and elements may be hot
even though they appear cool. Areas
near surface burners and elements may
become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other fl ammable materi-
als touch these areas until they are cool.
These areas may include the cooktop,
surfaces facing the cooktop, oven vent
areas, oven door, and oven window.
• Do not attempt to operate the appli-
ance during a power failure. If the power
fails, always turn off the appliance. If the
appliance is not turned off and the pow-
er resumes, electric surface elements
may resume operation when power is
restored. Once the power resumes, reset
the clock and the oven function.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil,
aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials
or devices to line oven bottom, oven racks,
or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum as recommended for baking, such
as lining cookware or as a cover placed on
food. Any other use of protective liners or
aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fi re or a short circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some mod-
els). Stand to the side of the appliance 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 burner or element in
oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Remove all cook-
ware and utensils 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.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Al-
ways cook in proper cookware and always
use the oven racks.
