Special Door Care Instructions

Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Read the following recommendations:

1.Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place.

2.Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.

3. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.
