IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION
Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting
•
or hanging garments should never be
worn while using the appliance. Do not
let clothing or other flammable materi-
als contact hot surfaces.
Do not touch surface burners or ele-
•
ments, areas near these burners or el-
ements, interior surfaces of the oven,
or the warmer drawer (if equipped).
Surface burners and elements may
be hot even though they appear cool.
Areas near surface burners and ele-
ments may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials 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 appl
•
ance during a power failure. If the
power fails, always turn off the appli-
ance. If the appliance is not turned
off and the power resumes, electric
surface elements may resume opera-
tion 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 appli-
ance. Only use aluminum as recommended
for baking, such as lining cookware or as a
cover placed on food. Any other use of pro-
tective liners or aluminum foil may result
in a risk of electric shock or fire 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. Touch-
ing 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 reposi-
tion. Remove all cookware 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.
