Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door
and turn the oven off. If fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. Do
not put water or flour on fire. Flour may be explosive.
Important notes:
• Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
• Do not use a broil pan without the broil pan insert. It is
designed to drain the grease from the food and help avoid
splatter and reduce smoking. Do not cover insert with foil.
• When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing food.
• To purchase broil pan and insert call Sears at
1-800-4-MY-HOME® (1-800-469-4663) and order broiler
kit 5304442087.
