• 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 instead of a potholder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers—Buildup of pressure may cause
container to burst and result in injury.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the
power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or
spoil.

Use proper flame size—Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The
use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relation of utensil to flame will also improve cooking efficiency.
