Whirlpool KEBS107D Oven Safety, When using the oven, Care and cleaning, Save These Instructions

Oven Safety

•Do not heat unopened contain- ers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.

•Use only cookware approved for oven use. Follow cookware manufacturer’s instructions, especially when using glass or plastic cookware.

•Do not store flammable materials on or near the oven. The fumes could create an explosion and/or fire hazard.

•Do not repair or replace any part of the oven unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

•Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the oven.

When using the oven

•Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan by covering with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming grease out- side of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

•Always position oven rack(s) in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be removed while oven is hot, do not let pot holder contact hot heating elements in oven.

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

Care and cleaning

•Small amounts of formaldehyde and carbon monoxide are given off in the Self-Cleaning cycle from fiberglass insulation and food decomposition. Significant exposure to these substances can cause cancer or reproductive harm. Exposure can be mini- mized by venting with a hood or open window and wiping out excess food spills prior to self- cleaning.

•Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

•Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, broiler grid, oven racks, and other cookware. Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts unless you are instructed to do so in this Use and Care Guide.

•Do not clean door gasket. It is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, dam- age, or move the gasket. Clean only parts recommended in this Use and Care Guide.
