SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions

■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.

■Never place cooking utensils or any other items on the oven floor. There is a heating element beneath the oven floor. Placing items on the oven floor may cause the oven to overheat, resulting in damage to the oven and risk of damage or fire to cabinets.

■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 rack in the desired position while the oven is cool. If racks 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.

■Pulling out the rack 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.

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

■Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

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

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

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

■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

■Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk

of electric shock or fire.
