Never store anything in the oven. Flammable materials can catch fire, plastic items may melt
or ignite and other types of items could be ruined or damage the interior surface of the
appliance.
Do not hang articles on any part of the appliance or place anything against the oven. Some
fabrics are quite flammable and may catch fire.
Do not use water on grease fires.Turn OFF the oven, then smother the fire with baking soda or
use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure a fresh air supply is available
especially during the self clean cycle.
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the appliance, never sit, stand, or lean on the oven
door.
Be careful not to rub, damage, move or remove the door gasket. A good seal is essential during
baking.
Place oven racks in desired position while the oven is cool. If a rack must
be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the pot holders contact the
hot interior of the oven.
Place oven racks right side up to avoid any burns or spilling
Clean the oven with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet
sponge or cloth to clean the appliance while it is hot. Some cleaners
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions
provided by the cleaner manufacturer.
Be sure the oven controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of
aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action
could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
Clean the oven frequently so that grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the
oven interior.
Use care when opening a hot oven door to avoid severe burns, open slowly, allow the hot air
or steam to escape before reaching in to remove or replace any foods.
Never open the oven door with children near by. They could come into contact with the hot
oven inner surfaces, resulting in severe burns.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Allow proper ventilation.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should
never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and
should not be worn while cooking.
During and after use, do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven; allow sufficient time to cool.
During and after use, do not allow clothing or any flammable material to touch the interior
surfaces of the oven, as they may catch fire; allow sufficient time to cool.
During and after use, some exterior surfaces may become hot enough to cause burn injury if
touched.These are the oven vent openings and areas near these openings, oven window glass,
and oven doors. Always use a protective nonflammable cooking mitt or pot holder.
Condensation: During any cooking process there is a certain amount of moisture that
evaporates from the food.The amount of moisture that condenses on the oven depends on the
moisture content of the food.The moisture will condense on any surface that is cooler than the
inside of the oven. While baking with an extremely moist food product in the oven, conden-
sation may collect on the oven near the control panel or the top of the door of the oven(s) in
use near the catalyst ducts.
