ir

appliance. Also, do not use the cooktop or _

 

utensils.

 

 

 

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Restriction of air

flow to the burner prevents proper performance and increases

carbon monoxide emission to unsafe levels.

Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the vent and surrounding area become hot enough to cause bums. After oven is turned off, do not touch the oven vent or sur- rounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

WARNING: NEVER use appliance door,

Cooking Safety

Always place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on.

Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner, Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that the burner

has ignited. When cooking is completed, turnbumer off be- fore removing pan to prevent exposure to burner flame,

Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does not ex- tend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.
