IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
•For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
•Never leave the oven door open when you are not watching the range.
•Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop.
•DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.
•Keep hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.
•Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or near your range.
•Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.
•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 the meat will be safe to eat.
Oven
•Stand away from the range 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.
•After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of the range and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler pan can catch on fire next time you use the pan.
•Never leave the oven door open when you are not watching the oven.
•Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains, or drapes a safe distance from your range.
•Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
•Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance from your range.
•Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance from your range.
•Place the oven shelf in the desired position while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.
•Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop 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 your oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.
•Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
