SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering with baking soda or, if available, a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions

■Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot element.

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

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

■Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your oven.

■Do not store flammable material in an oven or near the cooking center.

■Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

■For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

■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 cooking center.

■Do not touch heating elements or 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 and crevices around the oven door.

■REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.
