WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance. Be
careful when reaching for items stored in
cabinets over the oven. Flammable material
could be ignited if brought in contact with hot
surfaces or heating elements and may
cause severe burns.
■
Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders touch
hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
■
For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the oven.
■
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
■
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door
and turning the oven off or by using
a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■
Do not touch the heating elements
or the interior surface of the oven. These
surfaces may be hot enough to burn even
though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact any
interior area of the oven; allow sufficient
time for cooling first.
■
Potentially hot surfaces include oven
vent openings, surfaces near the openings,
crevices around the oven door, the edges
of the window and metal trim parts above
the door.
■
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven
and door may be hot when the door is
opened.
■
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings
in or near your oven.
■
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
■
Stand away from the oven when opening
the oven door. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands,
face and/or eyes.
■
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■
Place the oven rack in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If racks must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
■
When using cooking or roasting bags
in the oven, follow the manufacturer's
directions.
■
Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is
a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
■
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■
Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
■
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
■
After broiling, always take any broiler
pan out of the oven and clean it. Leftover
grease in a broiler pan can catch fire next
time you use the pan.
■
Clean only parts listed in this Owner's
Manual.
■
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms, except as suggested in this manual.
Improper installation of aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
