IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Proper use
The oven becomes very hot while in use. Use caution to ensure that you are not burned on the heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven. Use pot holders when placing food in the oven, adjusting the racks, etc. in a hot oven.
Caution: Heating elements may be hot even though they are not glowing. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, vents, and the control panel can become hot. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials come into contact with heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Do not let food sit in the oven for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Use only dry,
Loose fitting or hanging garments present a fire hazard. Wear proper apparel while operating the appliance.
Do not heat up food in closed containers, as pressure will build up in the container, causing them to explode.
Do not use the range to boil or heat up cans.
Never pour cold water onto hot surfaces in a hot oven.
The steam created could cause serious burns or scalding and the sudden change in temperature can damage the enamel in the oven.
To prevent burns, always place oven racks at their desired height while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements.
