IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

• Use only dry pot holders—moist or

damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let

pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot burner.

•Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance from your oven.

•Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance away from your oven.

•Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

•DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.

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

•Do not use the oven as a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

•Do not touch 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 the oven vent openings, surfaces near the openings and crevices around the door.

Remember: The inside surfaces of an oven may be hot when the door is opened.

•Keep the oven clean and free of accumulations of grease or spillovers, which may ignite.

•When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.

•Stand away from the oven when opening the oven door. The hot air or steam that 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 ducts unobstructed.

•Keep the oven free from grease build-up.

•Place the oven shelf in the desired position while the oven is cool.

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

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

•Do not use your oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch fire.

•Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven except as described in this guide. Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage to the oven.

•Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens.

•After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of the broiler compartment and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler pan can catch fire next time you use the pan.

•If you should have a grease fire in the broiler pan, turn the oven off and keep the oven and broiler drawer door closed to contain the fire until it burns out.

•When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups.

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