Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven OFF. If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns
Important notes:
•Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.

•When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
