IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near an oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

•Placement of ovens racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while ovens are cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to

reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the ovens. Remove all utensils from the rack

before moving.

•Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

•Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing light bulb.
