the flames are not visible. Areas near the burner 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 have had sufficient time to cool. Among
these areas are the oven vent openings, the surfaces near
these openings, oven door, window and broiler drawer
,, Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater
to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
,, Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires. Smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam=type extinguisher.
,, When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
,, Use Only Dry Potholders. Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let the potholders touch hot heating surface units. Do
not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
,, Use Care When Opening an Oven Door--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. The wall oven is
vented at the upper control panel or at the center trim
depending of the model. Touching the surfaces in this area
when the wall oven is operating may cause severe burns.
Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items near the
oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages
in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum
foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. Remove all utensils
from the rack before removing rack. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use pot holders and
grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let pot
holders contact the hot oven element or interior of the oven.
• Do not use your broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept
away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom with
aluminum foil Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth.
Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
appliance or shut off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing the bulb.
,, Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in
this manual, improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR OVEN
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan
could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
,, Cleaners/Aerosols--Always followthe manufacturer's
recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess
residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing
damage and/or injury.
