IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum
foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other
materials or devices to line oven bottom,
oven racks, or any other part of the appli-
ance. Only use aluminum as recommend-
ed for baking, such as lining cookware or
as a cover placed on food. Any other use
of protective liners or aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a
short circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some mod-
els). Stand to the side of the appliance
when opening the door of a hot oven. Let
hot air or steam escape before you remove
or replace food in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
Touching surfaces in this area when the
oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not
place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or
near the oven vent. These items can melt
or ignite.
Placement of oven racks - Always place
oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven
is hot, do not let potholder contact hot
burner or element in oven. Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to re-
position. Remove all cookware and utensils
before moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat
to drain away from the high heat of the
broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with
aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease
could ignite.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Al-
ways cook in proper cookware and always
use the oven racks.
Save these instruction for future reference
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
ammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the
handle of the utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend
over adjacent surface burners
Never leave surface burners unattended at
high heat settings — Boil overs cause smoking
and greasy spill overs that may ignite, or a
pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types
of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook
top service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top
use.
