IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning.
▶
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires.
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type
▶
extinguisher.
CAUTION
The oven vents are important for air circulation. Covering
the oven vents will cause the oven to overheat. Refer to
the appliance overview for the location of the oven vents.
→ "Appliance", Page 9
▶ Do not obstruct oven vents.
WARNING
Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
▶ Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements.
▶ Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an
oven become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing,
▶
potholders, or other flammable materials contact
heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they
have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
Among these surfaces are oven vent openings,
surfaces near these openings and oven doors.
Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
▶ Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer) slowly
and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape.
Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure
▶
there are no children or pets near the appliance.
After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with
▶
your cooking.
▶ Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or
cleaning purposes.
▶ Do not leave open doors unattended.
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from
steam.

CAUTION
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content
(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of
burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven.
Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open
▶
the oven door carefully.
Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If the rack must be
moved while the oven is hot, do not let potholders contact
the hot heating elements in the oven. Use caution when
removing oven racks from the lowest rack position to
avoid contact with the hot oven door.
