SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■Do not store flammable materials in an oven.

■CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above an oven; children climbing on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured.

■Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance.

Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the oven. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surfaces or heating elements and may cause severe burns.

■Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

■For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

■Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the oven.

■Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.

■Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi- purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your oven.

■Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■Stand away from the oven when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

■Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■Place the oven shelf in the desired position while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.

■When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■Do not touch the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

■Potentially hot surfaces include oven vent openings, surfaces near the openings, crevices around the oven door, the edges of the window and metal trim parts above the door.

■REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.
