All appliances - regardless of the manufacturer - have the potential through improper or careless use to create safety problems. Therefore the following safety precautions should be observed:

1.Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

2.Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

3.Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

4.Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.

5.Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifi-

cally recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to an authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.

6.Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven.

7.Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

8.Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

9.Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

10.Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
