•To avoid steam burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth to wipe up spills on hot cooking area.

•Do not store combustible or flammable materials, such as gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near or in oven.

•Do not clean oven door gasket located on back of the door. Gasket is necessary to seal the oven and can be damaged as a result of rubbing or being moved.

•Do not drape towels or any materials on oven door handles. These items may ignite causing a fire.

Baking, Broiling, and Roasting

•Do not use oven area for storage.

•Stand back from range when opening a hot oven door. Hot air or steam can cause burns to hands, face, and eyes.

•Use only glass cookware appropriate for use in electric ovens.

•Always remove broiler pan from oven when finished broiling. Grease left in pan can catch fire if oven is used without removing grease from the broiler pan.

•Make sure broiler pan is placed correctly to reduce any possibility of grease fires.

•Should a grease fire occur in the broiler pan, turn off oven, and keep oven door closed until fire burns out.

•Do not slide rough objects across range top surface.

•Do not leave fat heating unless you remain nearby. Fat can ignite if overheated by spilling onto hot surfaces.

•Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause damage to cooking surface and pan.

•Do not use range top surface as a cutting board.
