Use care when opening the oven
door. Let hot air or steam escape
before moving or replacing food.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Fol-
low food manufacturer's instructions.
If a plastic frozen food container
and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is
otherwise damaged during cooking,
immediately discard the food and its
container. The food could be contami-
nated.
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover
oven racks or oven bottom. This could
result in risk of electric shock, fire, or
damage to the appliance. Use foil only
as directed in this guide.
Use pans with flat bottoms and han-
dles that are easily grasped and stay
cool. Avoid using unstable, warped,
easily tipped or loose-handled pans.
Also avoid using pans, especially
small pans, with heavy handles as
they could be unstable and easily tip.
Pans that are heavy to move when
filled with food may also be haz-
ardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to
properly contain food and avoid
boilovers. Pan size is particularly
important in deep fat frying. Be sure
pan will accommodate the volume of
food that is to be added as well as the
bubble action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flamma-
ble materials and spillage due to unin-
tentional contact with the utensil, do
not extend handles over adjacent sur-
face burners. Always turn pan handles
toward the side or back of the appli-
ance, not out into the room where they
are easily hit or reached by small chil-
dren.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could
damage the utensil and the appliance.
Follow the manufacturer's directions
when using oven cooking bags.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ce-
ramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop or oven usage
without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Follow manu-
facturer's instructions when using
glass.
This appliance has been tested for
safe performance using conventional
cookware. Do not use any devices or
accessories that are not specifically
recommended in this guide. Do not
use eyelid covers for the surface
units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven
convection systems. The use of devic-
es or accessories that are not
expressly recommended in this manu-
al can create serious safety hazards,
result in performance problems, and
reduce the life of the components of
the appliance.
Turn off all controls and wait for appli-
ance parts to cool before touching or
cleaning them. Do not touch the burn-
er grates or surrounding areas until
they have had sufficient time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use
care to avoid steam burns if a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills
on a hot surface. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
The California Safe Drinking Water
and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986
(Proposition 65) requires the Gover-
nor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the State of Cal-
ifornia to cause cancer or reproduc-
tive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential expo-
sures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby
warned that the burning of gas can re-
sult in low-level exposure to some of
the listed substances, including ben-
zene, formaldehyde and soot, due pri-
marily to the incomplete combustion
of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP)
fuels. Properly adjusted burners will
minimize incomplete combustion. Ex-
posure to these substances can also
be minimized by properly venting the
burners to the outdoors.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING
PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in
the kitchen or in rooms where the
fumes from the kitchen could reach.
Birds have a very sensitive respiratory
system. Fumes released during an
oven self-cleaning cycle may be
harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes re-
leased due to overheated cooking oil,
fat, margarine and overheated non-
stick cookware may be equally harm-
ful.
