To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance
if paper, plastic, or other com-
bustible materials
are placed
inside the
oven to facilitate cooking. Paper can char
or burn, and some plastics can melt if used
when
heating
foods.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper
or
plastic bags before placing
bag in oven.
Cooking in metal containers can damage
the oven. So can containers
with hidden
metal (twist-ties, foil-lining, staples, metallic
glaze or trim). Test dinnerware
or cookware
before using. See page 26.
C.lf materials inside the oven should ignite,
keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and
disconnect
the power
cord, or shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
17. Read and follow "OPERATING SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS" starting on page 25.
18.
Because of the automatic
exhaust fan
feature, the following
cautions
must be
observed:
0. Do not leave the area when using your
cooktop at a high setting. Accidental
fires
from boilovers or spattering on the surface
unit could spread, especially
if the exhaust
fan is operating.
b.
Do not allow grease and soil to build up
in the grease filter. Exhaust fan efficiency
will decrease
and fire may result. Clean
often following
the filter cleaning
instruc-
tions on page 23.
C. Do not change
the cooktop
or oven
lights without turning the power off at the
main power supply. Electrical shock may
result.
d.
Do not flame foods when operating the
exhaust
fan. The fan, if operating,
may
spread the flame and cause personal in-
jury or propem/ damage.
