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. lf shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot ho1der contact the heating elements in the oven.

Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

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

Do not use.the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

Troubleshooting Tips
Consumer Support

Never leave the surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service, others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units.

Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you

do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
