Burners (cont.)

DO NOT TOUCH INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN.

Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause burns, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, and the oven door window.

Cleaning Safety

Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning them.

Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

DO NOT clean door gasket. It is essential for a good tight seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.

No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating such as aluminum foil should be used in or around any part of the oven. Improper oven liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Keep oven free from grease buildup.

About Your Appliance

CAUTION

NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room to prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the appliance. Also, DO NOT use the oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.

Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after oven is turned off. When the oven is in use, the vent and surrounding area become hot enough to cause burns. After oven is turned off, DO NOT touch the oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

The misuse of oven doors (e.g. stepping, sitting, or leaning on them) can result in potential hazards and/or injuries.

The appliance must be installed and electrically grounded according to local codes. Have the installer identify the location and shut-off valve on the oven so you know where and how to turn off gas if necessary.

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
